Tue Nov 05 02:25:19 UTC 2024: ## Mitchell’s Last-Second Shot Gives Cavaliers Perfect 7-0 Start

**Milwaukee, WI** – The Cleveland Cavaliers extended their undefeated start to the season with a thrilling 114-113 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday. Donovan Mitchell’s buzzer-beating shot sent the Fiserv Forum into stunned silence after Damian Lillard had put the Bucks ahead with just 10 seconds remaining.

Lillard, who had a phenomenal 41-point game, including 10 three-pointers, looked to have won it for Milwaukee with his jumper. However, Mitchell, who finished with 30 points, expertly ran down the clock before calmly sinking the game-winning shot. He credited teammate Isaac Okoro’s crucial rebound moments earlier for setting up the winning play.

“It’s not about the shot – it’s about Isaac Okoro’s rebound,” Mitchell said. “That’s what it’s all about. I did my job, Isaac did his job, we all did our jobs.”

The game was a back-and-forth affair with 19 lead changes and a remarkable six Cavaliers players scoring in double figures. Sam Merrill was particularly impressive off the bench, contributing 17 points including five three-pointers.

Despite Lillard’s heroics, the Bucks remain struggling at 1-5, while the Cavaliers, now 7-0, sit atop the Eastern Conference.
