The Cleveland Cavaliers won Game 5 against the Detroit Pistons, with Evan Mobley playing a pivotal role by scoring 19 points and dishing out 8 assists. James Harden also contributed significantly, scoring over 30 points for the first time in the playoffs as a Cavalier.
This game wasnât pretty in the beginning for Evan Mobley. In fact, he was working his way towards a LOSER tonight when he failed to post up both Cade Cunningham and . Those are matchups he needs to win. But as the game went on, it became impossible to deny Mobleyâs impact. He was making strong reads as a playmaker all night. Mobley has found a niche for creating in the short-roll, diming multiple times in this game and bending the help defense to kick out to the perimeter. He ended the night with a playoff career-high 8 assists. Thatâs impressive, but not *that* impressive. Letâs get to the good stuff. Mobley sprang to life by yamming a driving dunk in the second half. He then showed off his range by banging home a three-pointer on the next play. All of a sudden, the Cavs had momentum. This continued into the fourth quarter, when Mobleyâs clutch shot-making helped the Cavs recover from a nine-point deficit and force overtime. Itâs worth noting that Mobley has converted on a number of timely three-pointers this postseason, including the first round against . Mobley finished with 19 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal. The second game in a row that heâs dipped his hand into multiple cookie jars and walked away as a winner.

Can I be honest? Iâm kinda tired of typing this. Itâs almost insulting to the wonderful readers of Fear the Sword that I keep reminding everyone why taking care of the ball is important. Weâre all aware. Yet, itâs important enough to keep hammering home. The Cavs conceded 27 points off turnovers. 20 of those came in the first half. Coughing it up and allowing the Pistons to score in transition is the primary thing the Cavs should worry about in this series. They lost games 1-2 because of it, and they nearly repeated history tonight.
James Harden netted his first 30+ point playoff game as a Cavalier. It was his 50th career game of 30+ points in the postseason. Couldnât have come at a better time. Harden, even when heâs turning it over and walking back on defense, has somehow managed to keep the Cavs alive throughout these playoffs. Other than games 1-2, where he actively cost them from winning, Harden has been a lifeline for Cleveland. Tonight was more of that. Harden took a sputtering Cavalier offense and towed them to the finish line. His isolation scoring ensured that Detroit could never pull too far away, immediately bringing the Cavs back into range after the Pistons went up by 16 points. Thereâs a sense of calm that Harden brings to the roster. Again, even when everything is burning down, Harden keeps the same demeanor. That can frustrate you when the team loses. It might seem like he doesnât have any sense of urgency. But when the Cavs rally back? Hardenâs composure is a bright spot. He didnât allow them to panic, and that resilience won out in the end.
In a just world, Max Strus will be remembered as a Cleveland legend. The only thing thatâs left is a deep playoff run under his belt. Maybe he gets it this year. Strus does everything a blue-collar city should love. Grit, tenacity, and nonstop hustle. Heâs a streaky shooter, but that motor never shuts off. Thatâs allowed him to be impactful in games where he doesnât have his shot rolling. And when his shot is falling like tonight? Itâs a cherry on top. The Cavs fell behind early in this game due to turnovers. It was Strus, alongside Harden, who connected on timely buckets to keep things under control. He continued to nail momentous shots in the second half â on top of hustling for loose balls and second-chance opportunities. Strus, who came up with a clutch steal in Game 3, did it again tonight when he stole the ball and passed to Mitchell for a layup in overtime. If that wasnât enough, he also won over Charles Barkley tonight. It wasnât perfect for Max. He had a difficult time keeping Cade Cunningham away from his spots defensively. That resulted in the best game Cade has had all series. But Strus eventually started to win that battle, wearing Cunningham down as the game went on. And, he fueled the Cavaliers with his 20 points, making up for anything he conceded to the opposing teamâs All-NBA star.
The highs⊠and the lows. Mitchell scored a historic 39 points in the second half of Game 4. It feels like he maybe should have saved some of that for tonight. If Mitchell could have replicated even sixty seconds of that performance, the Cavs would have won comfortably. The Pistonsâ defense had Mitchell totally in a box for most of this game. He began 3-11 from the floor and 0-7 from downtown. This game was begging for Mitchell to take over. But it wasnât happening. At one point in the fourth quarter, Mitchell missed a wide-open three-point attempt from the corner that led to a transition three from Detroit. A devastating six-point swing with the game hanging in the balance. On the final possession, Mitchell had the world in his hands with a chance to win the game. He was absolutely smothered by Ausar Thompson and turned it over without getting a shot up. Rough. It wasnât all bad, thankfully. Mitchell sparked just enough fire to help the Cavs get over the hump in overtime. He scored half of Clevelandâs 14 points in the extra frame, drilling his first three-pointer of the night and bursting to the hoop for a pair of buckets.
