Cleveland Cavaliers become just fourth team in NBA history to start a season 15-0, plus more from Sunday’s action

CNN  

CNN — The Cleveland Cavaliers became just the fourth team in NBA history to start a season 15-0 after beating the Charlotte Hornets 128-114 on Sunday night. “We’ve always wanted to test ourselves against the best, we’ve always wanted to see where we stand with the best teams in the league.” Allen went on to call it a “rematch,” adding: “I know they didn’t have some players and we didn’t have me, so I want to help our team, propel us forward and try to beat them and test where we are with them.” Lamelo Ball scored a game-high 31 points for the Hornets to go with 12 assists, but was later fined $100,000 by the NBA for language in his post-match interview the league deemed as “offensive and derogatory.” James Harden passes Ray Allen for No. “As I get older and just chip away at an unbelievable career, you start to accomplish things like that, so I don’t ever want to take it for granted.” The 35-year-old tied Allen on Friday during the Clippers game against the Houston Rockets, where he played for nine years.
