Green Army vs. Knights
Cleveland's Cavaliers, with the help of Mitchell and others, have also played as a dark horse in the East this season. After beating the Magic in the first round of the tie-break, they didn't fall too far behind in the face of the Green Army. That's right, in the first two games of the series, the Cavaliers, who played at home in Boston, were able to tie the series to a 1-1 draw, and they could also complete a wave of 24-point victory in front of the Green Army's double tanhua. Obviously, the Green Army is not as tough as it seems.
However, looking at the overall strength of the Green Army, their strength at both ends of the offensive and defensive ends is obviously better, and the best record in the league in the regular season is the best proof. Moreover, according to statistics, they also have the league's No. 1 three-point output in this playoff journey, and they are properly the top three-point team. In this G3 battle, the Green Army did not easily give the opponent a chance, and successfully won the final victory with a total score of 106-93 in the situation of the team's starters one after another.
