Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell #45 of the Cleveland Cavaliers

The Cleveland Cavaliers‘ performance in the previous two games seemed to lack the cohesion expected of an NBA team, appearing as though they were unfamiliar with the basketball or each other’s playing styles.

These games, occurring in Orlando as Games 3 and 4, resulted in losses for the Cavs. Fortunately, they managed to secure victories in Games 1 and 2, both held in Cleveland. The upcoming Game 5 is also set to take place in Cleveland, but more details on that will follow shortly.

Revisiting Game 4 presents a challenging task. Despite leading at halftime with a score of 60-51, the Cavaliers faced a dramatic shift in the third quarter, being outscored by 37-10.

The turnaround was staggering, particularly considering the motivation expected after a 38-point loss in Game 3. Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell scored 18 points in the first half but failed to add any points in the second half.

Addressing the issue, Mitchell acknowledged his responsibility, expressing disappointment in his own performance and emphasizing the need for improvement. However, he wasn’t the only one feeling disappointed. The Cavaliers’ bench, notably Caris LeVert, Isaac Okoro, and Georges Niang, contributed minimally in the past two games, offering little support.

Moving forward, the Cavaliers must overcome the setbacks of their recent losses. Mitchell suggested that returning home could provide a boost for the team’s morale, emphasizing the importance of responding effectively.

With the series now tied at 2-2, Mitchell underscored the significance of seizing the upcoming game. He emphasized the need to replicate their success at home in the first two games to avoid an early exit from the playoffs.
