The star of the early NBA this season is an unexpected team.

Defending champion Boston Celtics, not the Oklahoma City Thunder, who have emerged as a powerhouse in the West. Since the opening game, all 13 games have been won. The Cleveland Cavaliers are on an unbeaten streak.

Cleveland won 114-106 against the Philadelphia 76ers of the NBA regular league in the 2024-2025 season at the Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on the 14th (Korea time).



It was an expected result. All three big players in Philadelphia, including Joel Embiid, Paul George, and Tyreece Maxey, were missing.

Cleveland is stable. Donovan Mitchell (23 points and 13 rebounds), Darius Garland (25 points), and Evan Mobley (14 points and 7 rebounds) were also active on the day. There is also top big man Jarrett Allen.



be powerful in offense and defense.

Cleveland's backcourt team is top of the league. Mitchell, an absolute ace for the Utah Jazz, has been a strong main ball handler since moving to Cleveland. Garland is also growing.



Along with Rudy Gobert and Wembley, Mobley, who has the best defense in the league, has grown. The core is full inside and outside.

It is a structure that cannot be defeated. It was an unexpectedly tough game. In Philadelphia, rookie McCain played a big part. In the first half, Philadelphia took the lead by 54-48, six points.

However, Cleveland turned the tide with a strong cohesion in the second half. Mitchell ended the game with a strong performance in the match.

Mitchell's strong defense stood out in his performance. The main five and the backup team are very harmonious.

The East is being reorganized into a two-tier system. The Boston Celtics, where Kristaps Porzingis is closed, have a slightly shaky early start to the season. There is a strong impression that Jason Tatum and Jaylon Brown are holding out with the league's best one-two punch.

Cleveland's early-season performance exceeds Boston's.

Of course, the recent performance is a little unsettling. The Chicago Bulls, Brooklyn Nets, and Milwaukee Bucks have been in close games over the past 10 days.

Coach Kenny Atkins said after the game, 'Ball pressure and energy were low. Overall, it was an unsatisfactory game. However, in the second half we recovered again. He showed the winning team.
