The Cleveland Cavaliers are the only team in the NBA's Eastern Conference that has not lost after Saturday's games. They defeated the Milwaukee Bucks 114-113 on Saturday night, making them 7-0. The Cavaliers have won all seven of their games so far this season, including five by double digits, making them one of the NBA's most impressive teams. They managed to win on the road even though it was by far their closest game of the season.
Cleveland Cavaliers' 7-0 record is one win away from matching their finest start in team history. They won their first eight games in 1976-1977. Milwaukee has had a miserable start, going 1-5 through their first six games. Milwaukee has dropped five games in a row after winning its opener. The Bucks squandered Damian Lillard's outstanding effort, in which he scored 41 points, assisted nine times, and went 10 of 15 from three. Additionally, star guard Donovan Mitchell's game-winning shot in the last second was crucial for the team to maintain the record.

With 9.8 seconds left, Lillard sank a step-back jumper to give Milwaukee the lead. The Bucks' Giannis Antetokounmpo finished with 34 points, 16 rebounds, and nine assists. The Bucks were missing Khris Middleton, who has yet to make his season debut while recovering from ankle surgery.
Donovan Mitchell won the game
After going 17 of 73 on 3-pointers in defeats to Boston and Memphis, the Bucks were 18 of 39 Saturday. Their strong start from deep range allowed them to create a 16-point first-quarter advantage. In the end, Damian Lillard and Antetokounmpo did not receive adequate support. The Bucks need more from Gary Trent Jr., who only scored three points in 34 minutes.
Cleveland took a timeout after Lillard had put Milwaukee up. Evan Mobley inbounded a pass to Donovan Mitchell, who received it just in time to escape a backcourt violation. Mitchell briefly lost control of the ball but retrieved it in 3-point range, dribbled inside the arc, and sank a 19-foot shot.
