A miracle shot is what it came down to. The Cleveland Cavaliers tussled to force overtime after falling back 15 points. But there wasnât much the Cavaliers could do when RJ Barrettâs triple nearly hit the roof before being swallowed by the rim. That was their fate tonight. However, something interesting did take place in the background after the Cavsâ overtime loss in Game 6.
Evan Mobleyâs mother, Nicol, reposted a tweet suggesting Donovan Mitchell needs to dial himself down for Cleveland to have some success. The video featured former NBA pro, Channing Frye, suggesting Spida needs to take a âbackseatâ in this series. That comes after another inefficient night for Mitchell.
The Cavaliers guard added a team-high 24 points, but took 26 shots to get there. This was a fourth straight game where Donovan Mitchell shot under 45%, a stretch in which the Cavaliers have lost three. Nicol Mobley also might have felt it was better to run the offense through her son.
Evan Mobley, in contrast, was uber efficient, with 26 points and 14 rebounds on 60% shooting. He led the Cavaliersâ second-half surge, with 15 points and two threes. Obviously, Nicol Mobley wasnât trying to create any unrest by suggesting Mitchell isnât capable of being the cornerstone to a successful franchise.
Heâs had some forgettable playoff moments, but thereâs also the performances that didnât end up on the right side of history. Donovan Mitchellâs never gotten past the second round in his career. And with a Game 7, the threat for that record to continue looms at large. But should Mitchell take a backseat?
In a simple world, the answer could be yes. The Raptors arenât exactly a tall team. is the only seven-footer, but he isnât nearly as mobile as the Cavsâ Mobley and . The combination of those two playing together has the ability to create regular mismatches for Cleveland. Furthermore, Evan Mobleyâs actually been having one of his better playoff series.
