Cleveland Cavaliers: Box score and player stats
The Cleveland Cavaliers game summary
The Cleveland Cavaliers struggled on both ends of the floor in their latest playoff matchup. They shot 42.9% from the field, going 30-for-70, and made 14 of 35 from three-point range. Their free throw shooting was solid at 87.5%, sinking 35 of 40 attempts. However, the offense never truly found its rhythm, and several key players had a tough night.
Donovan Mitchell had a rough game, scoring just 12 points while shooting 3-for-11 from the field. He also went 1-for-5 from three. Darius Garland led the team with 21 points, shooting 6-for-11 and going a perfect 8-for-8 from the line. Max Strus added 11 points, and Isaac Okoro chipped in 13, hitting all but one of his six shots. Despite a few strong individual efforts, the team’s overall performance wasn’t enough.
Defensively, Cleveland couldn’t keep up. Jarrett Allen played only 20 minutes and scored just 2 points. Evan Mobley added 10 points and 5 rebounds, but his impact was limited. The team allowed too many runs, and their -26 plus-minus reflected how outmatched they were throughout the game.
Bench players like Jaylen Tyson and Ty Jerome tried to provide a spark, combining for 18 points. But turnovers and foul trouble continued to hurt the Cavs. They committed 22 turnovers and picked up 28 fouls. With the series slipping away, Cleveland now faces a tough road ahead.
