Cavaliers Start Season With Thrilling Win Over Nets, Mitchell Scores 35
The Cleveland Cavaliers started their 2025-26 season with a thrilling victory over the Brooklyn Nets, winning 131-124. This win marks their eighth consecutive victory against the Nets in the last three seasons. However, the game was briefly interrupted by an unusual incident involving a fan and Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell.
In a moment that paused the action, an unknown fan stormed onto the court late in the fourth quarter. The Cavaliers were leading 121-115 at the time. The fan, holding a phone, rushed towards Mitchell. Security swiftly intervened, swiftly removing the individual and restoring order. The brief stoppage did little to deter the Cavaliers, who held on to their lead and secured the win.
Mitchell himself put on a spectacular performance, scoring 35 points, dishing out five assists, snatching three steals, and draining six 3-pointers. His impressive display was a significant factor in the Cavaliers' victory, as they aim to avenge their Eastern Conference semifinals loss from last year.
The Cavaliers' victory over the Nets sets a strong tone for their season, with Mitchell's standout performance leading the way. Despite the brief interruption caused by the fan incident, the team remained focused and secured a valuable win. As they look ahead, the Cavaliers will hope to build on this momentum and continue their winning streak against the Nets.
