“Cavs” triumph in the decisive confrontation of the Eastern Conference

Donovan Mitchell, the leader of the Cavs, played an amazing game. The 27-year-old played almost the entire game without substitutions – 45 minutes of action, during which he scored 39 points (11/27 from the field, 15/17 free), 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

D. Mitchell was well assisted by Evan Mobley, who did a lot of black work in defense. The 22-year-old tall man played 41 minutes, and during that time he scored 9 points, rebounded as many as 16 balls and wrote out 5 blocks for the opponents. True, the American was wrong 6 times.

Paolo Banchero was hard to stop on Orlando’s side. The 21-year-old forward spent 42 minutes on the field and collected 38 points (10/28 goals, 15/18 penalties), rebounded 16 balls, but made 5 mistakes. His best assistant this time was Wendell Carter Jr. – 13 points (5/10), 7 rebounds and 3 steals.

The German young star Franz Wagner played a poor game. The 22-year-old forward made just 1 of 15 field goals in 34 minutes and finished with 6 points (4/4 free), 6 assists and as many rebounds.

In the semifinals of the Eastern Conference, the “Cavaliers” will face one of the favorites to win the NBA title – the Boston “Celtics” basketball players. The first confrontation between these teams will take place on Tuesday.
