NBA playoffs continue, with the Cleveland Cavaliers heading to challenge the Indiana Pacers away. In the game, the Cavaliers made a perfect start of 11-0 for the away game, Turner stopped the bleeding for the Pacers, and the Pacers made a move to smooth the score difference. In the second quarter, the Pacers fell into a scoring drought, and the Cavaliers seized the opportunity to establish a huge lead of 21 points in a single quarter. After the change of sides, the Cavaliers always had a lead of 20 points. This situation remained until the last quarter, and the Pacers chased the gap to 11 points. At the critical moment, Mitchell and Struz made consecutive three-pointers, and the Cavaliers widened the gap to 20+ again. The Pacers were in a desperate situation. In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 126-104.

The Cavaliers previously lost two home courts in a row, and were full of dangers 0-2. Garland, Mobley Jr. and Hunter returned to the rescue from the front line. Faced with the fierce Eastern Overlord, the Pacers were determined to kill the enemy but were unable to turn the world back, and they could not withstand both offense and defense! After the game, the Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 56-37 rebounds, crushed the Pacers 18-4 rebounds, scored 54-48 in the inside, and scored 31-9 in the second offense. At the same time, the Cavaliers bombed the ball outside the three-point line, and the team made 47 three-pointers and made 14 shots. In contrast, the Pacers made only 9 of 30 shots outside the three-point line, and their intermittent three-point firepower was not enough to complete the 20+ major reversal again.

The Cavaliers used a 22-point victory to save some face in the away game. Mobley Jr. + Allen took charge of 37 points + 25 rebounds + 6 assists + 3 steals + 5 blocks, dominating the inside line on both ends of offense and defense; Struss also continued his hot and comprehensive output, contributing 20 points + 7 rebounds + 7 assists. The number of mistakes is 0, and the plus and negative value on the field is as high as +32. In contrast, the Pacers, Halliburton, the team's backcourt engine, was completely invisible, scored only 4 points, 5 assists and had three mistakes. The Pacers' offensive system was completely unable to operate, and the Pacers' failure was not able to advance was the original sin of the Pacers being beaten. Of course, the Cavaliers can easily defeat the Pacers, and Mitchell is the number one hero! In the G2 series, Mitchell led the team with a single core and suffered a 20-point comeback, scored 48 points in a blank, and left the game in disgrace. In this game, Mitchell played for 37 minutes, made 14 of 29 shots (5 of 13 three-pointers), made 10 of 14 free throws, scored 43 points + 9 rebounds + 5 assists + 1 steal, and the plus-negative value on the court was as high as +35. Garland returned to poor form with an injury, made 3 of 11 shots, scored only 10 points and 3 assists, and had 4 turnovers and 4 fouls. Mitchell had to shoulder the burden of attacking the backcourt alone, constantly hitting high-difficulty goals, and also went to the dragon's and tiger's den to cause damage again and again! At the same time, Mitchell scored several NBA records in one game.

According to NBA official statistics, this is the third time in his career that Mitchell scored 40+ in a single game in the playoffs, tied with Irving to be second in the team history, second only to James (24 times). At the same time, Mitchell scored 40 points in two consecutive playoff games, becoming the second-place player in the team history, with the first being James. In addition, Mitchell scored a total of 91 points in two consecutive games, becoming the first player in the Cavaliers' history to score 90+ in two consecutive playoffs. Even the strongest James and Irving have not been able to do it! After three games in the series, Mitchell averaged 41.3 points + 6.3 rebounds + 6 assists per game. He is the third player in the NBA to average 40+ in the first three games of the series, comparable to Jordan (5 times) and James (2 times). I have to say that Mitchell is too cruel!

Mitchell continued to run wild and won a lot of money. Cavaliers coach Atkinson said bluntly: I am very satisfied with his performance and I need him to play more "selflessly". Mitchell himself said: It would be difficult to fall behind 0-3. This is a game that I want to win 1,000%, but we have not achieved anything yet. The next game will be the most difficult battle in the series! That's right, the Cavaliers are still behind 1-2. Before Garland completely recovers to recover his peak state, the Cavaliers' family still has to be carried by Mitchell! Fans, what do you think about this? Let me leave me a comment and discuss it.
