CLEVELAND — The Cavaliers would become just one of four teams in NBA history to begin a season 15-0 with a victory Sunday night over the Charlotte Hornets.
The Cavs have already established franchise records for the best start to season and longest winning streak. They have set a single-season club record by scoring 130-plus points in six games. And Kenny Atkinson has become the only head coach in league history to win his first 14 games with a new team.
Another Cleveland triumph would keep the Cavs unbeaten entering a highly anticipated Emirates NBA Cup matchup Tuesday night at the Boston Celtics, who eliminated the Cavaliers from the Eastern Conference semifinals in May.
