In Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Celtics played a fierce battle with the Cleveland Cavaliers at home. Currently, the Celtics lead 3-1 on aggregate. Even though the Cavaliers are missing their core player Mitchell today, their role players shine. The Cavaliers were particularly good midway through the third quarter, forcing the Celtics to be unable to score in open play for up to five minutes.
Among them, Morris and Mobley ushered in a big explosion. They shot extremely well from the three-point line, especially Morris Jr., who shot 3-of-3 from three-point range in the first three quarters. The duo's outstanding performances led to their 20+ points each, and their three-point rain put the Celtics under pressure and a headache. In this game, although the Cavaliers lacked core players, their team spirit and role players were eye-catching.
The score is close! This ball: Garland crosses the middle, and Mobley breaks through and scores a layup.
Feel hot! This goal Mobley almost lost the ball, but fortunately, Morris picked up and scored three points directly, and Morris went crazy today.
Today, when the Cavaliers are in a desperate situation, there are always players who step up. They were unusually resilient, and Pozin's absence created a huge killing opportunity for Mobley on the inside. Mobley and Morris's excellent play made the game full of suspense again, but they were still optimistic that the Celtics would win the game, and sure enough, the Green Army adjusted at the end of the quarter and continued to maintain a 10-point lead, and finally the Celtics beat the Cavaliers, with a total score of 4-1 to advance to the Eastern Conference finals.
