Cavs Made NBA History After Sunday’s Win

The Cleveland Cavaliers continue to defy expectations this season, finding yet another way to win when victory seemed improbable.

What started as a potential trap game against Portland on Sunday transformed into another chapter in what’s becoming a storybook season for the Cavs.

Down by 18 points against a Trail Blazers team playing with house money, Cleveland refused to surrender.

Their resilience paid off with a hard-fought 133-129 overtime triumph at Rocket Arena, pushing their winning streak to double digits and cementing their place in the league’s history.

“The @cavs have now won 10 straight games for the 3rd time this season. Cleveland is just the 7th team in @NBA history to have 3 separate win streaks of 10 games or more in a single season,” Cavs Notes shared on X.

Sunday’s hero wore number 20. De’Andre Hunter, Cleveland’s midseason acquisition, erupted for 32 points including a clutch three-pointer in the final 30 seconds of overtime that ultimately sealed the deal.

Hunter’s impact didn’t end there – he secured the crucial rebound that led to game-clinching free throws.

Ty Jerome contributed 25 points while Evan Mobley added 20, forming a formidable trio that powered the Cavaliers to victory.

The contest itself was no beauty pageant. A physical slugfest featuring 70 combined trips to the charity stripe and several players fouling out tested both teams’ depth.

This comeback victory comes just days after the Cavs erased a 22-point deficit in Boston, showcasing a pattern of resilience that has fans dreaming of championship possibilities.

At 50 wins, Cleveland stands alone as the first NBA team to reach the half-century mark this season.

The red-hot Cavaliers will put their winning streak on the line Tuesday when they visit the Chicago Bulls, looking to extend what has already become one of the most impressive regular seasons in franchise history.
