The Cleveland Cavaliers have yet to lose a game this season.

The New Orleans Pelicans are just trying to find enough healthy bodies to keep up as they host the Cavaliers on Wednesday night.

The Cavaliers have matched the 8-0 start of their 1976 team after one-point and two-point victories in a home-and-home set of games against Milwaukee. Cleveland won its first six games by an average of 17 points.

“This is what it’s all about, right?” Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson said. “These last five minutes, clutch minutes — and how are we going to execute? How are we going to finish this game? These are great if you want to succeed in the playoffs. You’ve got to be really good in the pressure moments. I like that. We got pressure situations. We practiced it and fortunately came out on top.”

Donovan Mitchell scored the final two of his 30 points with a last-second jumper in a 114-113 victory at Milwaukee on Saturday.

On Monday, Mitchell scored just 14 points, shooting 5-of-15 from the floor, but Darius Garland scored 39 points in a 116-114 win over the visiting Bucks. Cleveland finished with an 18-8 run during the final 6:06 and Garland’s 3-pointer gave the Cavs the lead for good with 45 seconds remaining.
