BROOKLYN, N.Y. — The Cavaliers tipped their season off on the road against the Brooklyn Nets on Wednesday, and led by Donovan Mitchell and Max Strus, Cleveland broke a bad streak and got their first road season-opening win since 2000.
The third quarter was all Cleveland as the Cavs kept their lead throughout. In the fourth quarter, however, the game turned, and as the minutes went on, the Cavs found themselves having to play from behind. Mitchell answered back, though. With 12 seconds in the game, Mitchell hit a dagger three, putting the Cavs ahead 114-113. One more solid defensive stop sealed the game and started the Cavs season off with a win.
"He came out and set a tone," head coach J.B. Bickerstaff said after the game."Beyond the three, because I think we expected that, he had 12 defensive rebounds...to me, it's more about shooting with him. He makes shots, that's what he does...his grit and toughness—that's leadership style and our guys will continue to follow."
