The Cavaliers, with their four stars, are the NBA's best team through the first month of the season. Three offseason priorities are the reasons.

Jayson Tatum was one rebound shy of a triple-double in Boston's 139-114 win over Brooklyn and one assist shy in Saturday's 126-123 overtime victory over the Raptors. Toronto needed that travel call on his game-winner at the buzzer right then and there, not in the Last Two Minute Report.

With Sunday's 128-114 win over the Charlotte Hornets, the Cleveland Cavaliers improved to 15-0, tying for the second-best start in NBA history. The 1948-49 Washington Capitols and, more recently, the 1993-94 Houston Rockets also started their respective seasons with 15 straight wins.
