Not at their best, but Cavs get 17th win
The Straits Times|November 26, 2024
Donovan Mitchell and reserve Ty Jerome each scored 26 points to spark the Cleveland Cavaliers over the Toronto Raptors 122-108 on Nov 24, with Cavaliers coach Kenny Atkinson suggesting they have unleashed only "70 per cent or maybe 65 per cent" of their offensive potential.
Not at their best, but Cavs get 17th win

Jerome has scored at least 24 points in three of his past four National Basketball Association (NBA) games.

Jarrett Allen added 23 points and 13 rebounds for the league-leading Cavaliers, who improved to 17-1 for the season, while Gradey Dick and Scottie Barnes each scored 18 to lead the Raptors.

The Cavaliers began the campaign 15-0 before losing 120-117 to the Boston Celtics on Nov 19, but Cleveland bounced back to beat the New Orleans Pelicans the next night and stayed hot against Toronto, improving to 10-0 at home at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

"It's a special place to play and we feel it on the court," Mitchell said.

"It's always loud when we play. It's always comfortable coming back here and knowing we're going to get a loud ovation every time."
