In-form Cavaliers tame 76ers to become sixth NBA team to start a season 13-0

• Cleveland beat Philadelphia 114-106 to stay unbeaten
• Cavs (13-0) off to best start since Warriors in 2015-16

Darius Garland scored 25 points and Donovan Mitchell took over down the stretch as the Cleveland Cavaliers remained undefeated with a 114-106 road victory over the short-handed Philadelphia 76ers on Wednesday.

Mitchell finished with 23 points, 13 rebounds and nine assists for Cleveland (13-0), which is off to the NBA's best start since the Golden State Warriors' record-setting 24-game winning streak to begin the 2015-16 season. The Cavaliers scuffled through much of the first half in this one before making a variety of big shots when it mattered most.
