Cavaliers' Winning Streak Ties NBA Season-High

The Cleveland Cavaliers extended their winning streak to nine games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers just keep on rolling. They headed North of the border to take on the Toronto Raptors and promptly blew them out, 119-95. The Raptors are the latest team over the last six weeks to become a victim of a Cavalanche.

With this win, the Cavs have now won nine straight games. The last time they lost was on January 24 which was the first game of a back-to-back with the Milwaukee Bucks.

Cleveland's current stretch ties the NBA's longest winning streak during the 2023-24 season. The only other teams who have won nine consecutive games are the Orlando Magic, the Los Angeles Clippers, and the New York Knicks.

This ninth victory was just as convincing as the last with it taking a team effort. Eight of the players who touched the floor scored in double digits. Cleveland also got 44 points from their bench which has been a consistent theme during this run. 

One of the best parts of this win was the ball movement. Cleveland finished with 36 team assists with Darius Garland leading the way with eight and Max Strus contributing seven. After the game, Jarrett Allen described that as, "just Cavs hoops." 

Speaking of JA, he led the scoring as he finished with 18 points while shooting an efficient 75% (9-12) from the floor. Evan Mobley was right behind him scoring 17 points in just 27 minutes of play.

The Cavs will have a chance to set the longest winning streak in the NBA this season at 10 games when they take on the Philadelphia 76ers back in Cleveland on Monday night.
