Mitchell scored 23 points, pulled down 13 rebounds, and dished out nine assists, leaving him one dime shy of his first career triple-double. With less than two minutes to go and the Cavaliers nursing a seven-point lead, Mitchell drove aggressively to the basket—only to pass out of a wide-open look to center Evan Mobley in the corner.

PHILADELPHIA — The lane opened and Donovan Mitchell attacked. As he soared to the basket, two points — and a comfortable lead in the final 90 seconds — were there for the taking.

"It’s great to be a part of history," Mitchell said as Cleveland became just the eighth team in NBA history to win its first 12 games.

Donovan Mitchell put the Cleveland Cavaliers on his back in the fourth quarter during their historic victory over the Philadephia 76ers. Spida finished the game with 25 points, 13 rebounds, and nine assists.

Mitchell's late scoring outburst helped the Cavaliers seal a 114-106 victory, improving to 13-0. According to Kevin Cooney of the Associated Press, Cleveland is the sixth team in NBA history to start 13-0.

On Wednesday night, the Cleveland Cavaliers survived a valiant effort from the terribly undermanned Philadelphia 76ers that was missing all three of its stars to extend their winning streak to 13 to start the season with a 114-106 win.

The Cleveland Cavaliers are off to a 12-0 start thanks much in part to the superb play of Donovan Mitchell, but apparently, not everyone is a believer. Former NBA star Brandon Jennings does not seem entirely sold on Mitchell and the Cavaliers and took exception to someone attempting to compare Mitchell to Milwaukee Bucks superstar Giannis Antetokounmpo.
