Facing the Green Army, which has the first record in the league, the Cavaliers still failed to hold their home court, G4, the Cavaliers lost to the Green Army 102-109, falling behind 1-3, and now the Cavaliers are hanging by a thread.
In this game, Ah King, who has been on vacation for a long time, came to the home court after a long time to watch the old brother of the post-James era play, but even with the blessing of James, the Cavaliers could not stop the footsteps of the Green Army.
In fact, the Cavaliers played very tenaciously in this game, relying on a group of role players, playing back and forth with the Green Army, and only trailing by 5 points at halftime, but the playoffs are about superstar performance.
On the Cavaliers' side, Mitchell and Allen hung up the exemption card, although Garland scored 30 points, 3 rebounds and 7 assists in this game, but in the face of Shuangtanhua, after all, it was still difficult to beat four hands with two fists.
In this game, the Green Army double-probe slashed 60 points, 19 rebounds and 6 assists, Tatum shot 11 of 25, scored 33 points, 11 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 steals; Brown had 27 points, eight rebounds and one assist.
It can indeed be seen in this game that the Green Army does have the strength to do whatever it wants in the east.
After this battle, the series can be said to be over, after all, the injury of the Cavaliers star Mitchell is not light, Mitchell missed the game due to injury, and in the face of the interview, he also bluntly said that he is not sure whether he can participate in G5.
"It's bad, it's not just a calf strain, it could involve the Achilles tendon."
At the end of the fourth quarter in G3, Mitchell suffered an injury and left the game with 1:19 left in the game, and finally did not return to the court.
In fact, Mitchell has been plagued by injuries this season, playing only 55 games in the regular season, averaging 26.6 points, 5.1 rebounds, 6.1 assists and 1.8 steals per game, and shooting 46.2%/36.8%/86.5% from three.
He has played in 10 games so far in the playoffs, averaging 38.1 minutes per game, scoring 29.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.7 assists and 1.3 steals while shooting 47.6%/35.4%/81.5% from three.
In addition to Mitchell's fall, the same is true of Allen, another main player of the Cavaliers, who has missed 7 consecutive games due to a rib contusion, and he has only played 4 games so far in the playoffs, averaging 38.1 minutes per game, scoring 17 points, 13.8 rebounds, 1.2 assists, 1.2 steals and 1 block, and shooting 67.6%/0/69.2% from three.
The absence of the two main players has undoubtedly pushed them into the abyss for the Cavaliers, who are not as deep as the Green Army.
However, even if the Cavaliers are out, they have shown that they will be competitive in the future, and as long as the roster is healthy and complete, the Cavaliers can make a difference in the East.
