The team from Ohio also won its seventh game of the season at 114:113 against the Milwaukee Bucks led by superstar Antetokounmpo. Donovan Mitchell secured the victory 0.3 seconds before the final siren. Overall, the shooting guard scored a strong 30 points.
The Cavs only need one win to equal the best start in franchise history. In 1976, Cleveland had eight wins at the start, the 2016 champions have never managed more. Antetokounmpo couldn’t prevent the Bucks’ fifth defeat in a row with 34 points, 16 rebounds and nine assists, while Damian Lillard (41 points) also hit ten three-pointers. In the meantime, Milwaukee was ahead by 16 points.
According to media reports, an investigation has been initiated against star player Joel Embiid from the Philadelphia 76ers. After the game against the Memphis Grizzlies (107:124), the 2023 MVP is said to have pushed a journalist who had recently written a critical comment about Embiid.
“We are aware of reports of an incident in the Sixers’ locker room this evening and are conducting an investigation,” an NBA spokesman was quoted as saying by US media. Embiid, the Olympic champion in Paris, has not played in a game this season.
