Mitchell can't always play the hero; J.B. Bickerstaff can't capitalize on every coaching wrinkle; and Cleveland's home crowd can only inject so much energy. Ahead of Game 5, the Cavs' biggest improvement must come from within.
CLEVELAND, Ohio — Scrap the whiteboards for a second, and listen to your superstar. Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell is sharing the secret to playoff success in front of working microphones and rolling cameras, meaning there’s no way his teammates can miss it.
Cleveland shot 42.8% from the field and 23.5% from 3-point range in Games 3 and 4. The Cavs’ defense surrendered 116.5 points per game on the road compared to 84.5 per game at home. “Come together as a team,” Garland said after Game 4. “That’s all you have to do. We’ve been there before. We’ve had this experience before. So let’s go watch the film and be better.
Come Tuesday night, it’s on Garland and the Cavs to change Cleveland’s perception. Of course, they also need Bickerstaff to enhance the gameplan like Magic coach Jamahl Mosely did after Game 2. And of course, Cleveland needs Mitchell to play like the star they envisioned when they traded for him.
