The Cleveland Cavaliers made history on Sunday as they set a franchise record for most points scored in the first half, with 91 points against the Dallas Mavericks. The team’s dominant performance was led by Evan Mobley, who scored 22 points, and Darius Garland, who added 17 points and 10 assists.
The Cavs’ blistering start saw them score 50 points in the first quarter, and they never looked back as they opened a 45-point halftime lead. Sam Merrill’s nine 3-pointers also contributed to the team’s record-breaking first half.
The Mavericks, who had traded superstar Luka Doncic just hours earlier to the Los Angeles Lakers for Anthony Davis, were unable to keep up with the Cavs’ pace. Jaden Hardy led Dallas with 21 points, but it wasn’t enough to overcome Cleveland’s impressive scoring display.
This win improves the Cavs’ record to 40-9 and marks their best start in franchise history. The team is looking to build on this momentum as they hope to return to the Finals.
