0 of 12 three-pointers! Two major starters missed Mitchell, the first in the Eastern Conference was eliminated in an upset manner and faced a reorganization

On May 14, the NBA playoffs continued, with the Cavaliers losing to the Pacers 105-114 at home, and were eliminated 1-4 in a big score. In this game, the Cavaliers had a good momentum and once established a 19-point lead, but the team failed to withstand it. In the second half, the Pacers regained their touch and began to chase points continuously. They overtook a 21-2 offensive. The Cavaliers struggled to counterattack in the last quarter but still failed and eventually lost the game.

In this way, the Cavaliers, the number one in the East, were eliminated 1-4, which was also a big upset. You should know that after the series of this group was confirmed, the outside world was unanimously optimistic that the Cavaliers could advance, but they did not expect that the Cavaliers could not keep up with the pace after the fight. They lost all the first two games at home, and then successfully won a game away, but then lost two games in a row and were eliminated directly. After the entire series, the Cavaliers lost all three home games.

Mitchell chose to play with an injury in this game. He knew that the team had no way out, but his touch was not very good from the way up, especially on the outside, but he did not give up. When the team fell into a passive position in the final quarter, he finally started to hit the outside line, which once closed the gap to 3 points, but unfortunately it failed to continue. Mitchell made 8 of 25 shots, 4 of 13 three-pointers, and 15 of 21 free throws, scoring the highest 35 points in the game, really trying his best.

Unfortunately, Mitchell failed to get enough support this time, and Garland and Struz were completely silent in the starting lineup, with a total of 0 of 12 shots outside the three-point line, without providing any firepower support. Garland made 4 of 16 shots, scored 11 points and 5 mistakes, with the lowest positive and negative value of -18; Struz made 0 of 9 shots in the game and failed to score 1 point. Such a dismal performance is indeed difficult to help the team win the game. Garland's performance in this round of the series is still very poor, and it may even be thrown away by the team this summer.

The Cavaliers' guaranteed salary is as high as $221 million next season, far exceeding the second-large tyrant line ($207.8 million), which means they need to make a roster change. Among them, I believe the Cavaliers will definitely not choose to give up Mitchell and Mobley, and starters like Garland and Allen may be sent away. After all, Garland will also have a salary of $40 million next season, and coupled with the poor performance in this playoffs, the team must make some changes.
