LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Donovan Mitchell led from the front as the Cleveland Cavaliers bagged their 60th win of the National Basketball Association (NBA) season with a 127-122 victory over the in-form Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday.
Cleveland talisman Mitchell finished with 24 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists in what Cavs coach Kenny Atkinson described as his best performance of the season.
Sunday’s victory means Cleveland have reached 60 wins in a season for the first time since the 2009-2010 campaign, and for only the third time in franchise history.
More significantly, the win leaves Cleveland 4.5 games clear of NBA champions Boston in the race for the No.1 seeding in the Eastern Conference playoffs with just seven regular season fixtures remaining.
Atkinson said reaching 60 wins was beyond his expectations at the start of the campaign following a 48-victory season in 2023-2024.
