The Cleveland Cavaliers continue their perfect start to the 2024-2025 season, brushing aside the Golden State Warriors with a commanding 136-117 victory, marking their 10th consecutive win. This impressive streak has the Cavaliers feeling unstoppable, and they proved it on Friday night with an all-around team effort that left the Warriors trailing behind.
Darius Garland was at the heart of Cleveland’s offensive dominance, finishing with 27 points on 6-of-11 shooting from beyond the arc. Garland also dished out six assists and grabbed three steals, showcasing his all-around game. But it wasn’t just Garland leading the charge; Evan Mobley contributed a strong 23 points, along with four assists, four rebounds, two blocks, and a steal, further solidifying his reputation as one of the most versatile players in the league. Cleveland’s offensive strategy paid off, as the Cavaliers shot a blistering 47.6% (20-for-42) from three-point range, while their defense held Golden State to a mere 31% shooting from deep.

Golden State, on the other hand, struggled to get anything going offensively, especially from their star shooter, Stephen Curry. Curry finished with just 12 points, hitting only one of his four attempts from beyond the arc. It was clear that the Cavaliers' defense had effectively neutralized the Warriors’ star, which led to a quiet performance from Golden State’s starters. However, Jonathan Kuminga stepped up in a big way off the bench, scoring 21 points and adding six rebounds, five assists, and a block, showing that he can be a reliable contributor for the Warriors moving forward.
The Cavs’ 10-game win streak is one of the most impressive in recent memory, and it marks the longest start to a season for the franchise since the Dallas Mavericks had a similar run in 2002. Cleveland’s dominant victory against the Warriors puts them in an exclusive category, with the only team in recent history to outpace them being the 2015-16 Golden State Warriors, who won an incredible 24 games to open their season.
With the Cavaliers firing on all cylinders, they look like a serious contender early in the season, and their win against the Warriors sent a strong message to the rest of the NBA. The Cavaliers’ next challenge will be to continue this momentum and see how far their winning streak can stretch as they push toward the top of the Eastern Conference. As for the Warriors, they will need to regroup quickly if they hope to get back on track after a tough loss on the road.
