On March 29, the Cavaliers played against the Magic, and the two sides fought each other, and the Cavaliers narrowly won 107-101, ending the recent three-game losing streak. The overall performance was not good some time ago, but this game they withstood the pressure, once in the situation behind to complete the counterattack and win. In this way, the Cavaliers' record reached 42 wins and 33 losses, still ranking seventh in the East, narrowing the gap with the Raptors in front of them, and seeing the hope of reaching the playoffs.
The cavaliers' two main players in this game, Markkanen and Mobley, were injured and very sad. Mobley, who is also the best performer of this rookie, was injured when he landed on the ground while defending rookie Wagner Jr., and then returned to the dressing room. Although he walked back to the locker room by himself and was not supported, the knight officially announced that he would not return, which had a great impact on the knight.
Markkanen then also retired injured, he landed on the ground while defending opponents shooting, injured his right knee, and was helped out by his teammates. The camera immediately went to Bixtaf, and the Cavaliers coach was very helpless, and the team he coached in this game was indeed very unlucky. Fortunately, Markkanen returned and continued to fight.
It is worth mentioning that after James left the Cavaliers, the team has never played the playoffs, this season is considered the best chance, this talented team has the hope of winning the top six in the East straight to the playoffs, they also rose to the top four in the East at one point, and the probability of reaching the playoffs is very high.
But I didn't expect injuries to be so bad for them. Cavaliers forward Dean Wade underwent meniscus repair surgery and was reimbursed for the season. Rubio suffered a torn anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee before his injury, which was also a season-reimbursed state. Now in the final stages of the regular season, Mobley and Markkanen have been injured consecutively, which is a very big blow to the Cavaliers. Mobley, in particular, is a rookie, but he has played a very important role in the team, both offensively and defensively. And then there's Allen, who was diagnosed with a broken finger that also had a big impact on the knights.
Fortunately, today's game cavaliers withstood the pressure, they beat the magic of early exit, ending the recent 3-game losing streak. The Cavaliers' opponents are the Lone Rangers, Hawks, Knicks and 76ers, and the opponents are very strong, so it is still very difficult for the Cavaliers to get straight to the playoffs, and I hope that Bixtaugh's team can cheer up and strive to achieve the season goals.
