The Cleveland Cavaliers joined a fantastic foursome of NBA clubs that began their season 15–0 with a 128–114 win over the Charlotte Hornets on Sunday.
With the win, Cleveland joined the 1948-49 Washington Capitols (15-0), 1993-94 Houston Rockets (15-0) and 2015-16 Golden State Warriors (24-0). All four of those teams eventually finished the season in the NBA Finals, but only the Rockets won the championship.
The Cavs played without leading scorer Donovan Mitchell, who was kept out of the game for rest, according to the NBA injury report.
