Cavaliers improve to 12-0, best start since 2015-16 Warriors

CHICAGO -- The Cavaliers improved to 12-0 on Monday night with a 119-113 victory over the Chicago Bulls, making Cleveland the eighth team in NBA history to begin a season undefeated in its first 12 games.

Cleveland is the first team to rack up this many wins to start the season since the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who went an NBA-record 24-0 to begin the season, which they finished 73-9.

"It's great to be part of history," said Cavs star Donovan Mitchell, who had a season-high 36 points against Chicago.
