No Donovan Mitchell? No Problem For Cavaliers As They Tie Their Team Record With 15th Straight Win

The wins and accomplishments keep piling up for the NBA-leading Cleveland Cavaliers. They've been so frequent that players are having a hard time keeping track.

"What did we do? Oh, we clinched the Central Division," center Jarrett Allen said, chuckling. "That's something. We had fun tonight. We still celebrate the little things."

There was nothing little about the Cavaliers' 109-104 victory over Brooklyn on Tuesday.

Cleveland tied its franchise record for consecutive wins with 15 - after setting the mark in the first 15 games of the season - and is tied for the fifth-best start in NBA history at 55-10.

Even with All-Star shooting guard Donovan Mitchell left groin soreness, sixth man De'Andre Hunter illness and sharpshooter Ty Jerome rest in street clothes on the bench, the Cavaliers rallied from an 18-point deficit in the second half against the Nets.
