The Boston Celtics face the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, May 9, 2024 (5/9/24) at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts.
Cleveland Cavaliers guard Darius Garland, right, hugs teammate Donovan Mitchell after hitting a 3-point basket in the second half of Game 7 of an NBA basketball first-round playoff series against the Orlando Magic, Sunday, May 5, 2024, in Cleveland.
But Mitchell, who scored 50 in a Game 6 loss at Orlando and has been battling a left knee injury for months, put the Cavs on his back. He carried them past an up-and-coming Orlando team whose playoff inexperience showed in the second half. Evan Mobley grabbed 16 rebounds and Darius Garland hit a critical 3-pointer — after getting a pep talk from Mitchell — in the fourth for Cleveland, which won its first playoff series without LeBron James since 1993.
“I’m pretty sure everybody thinks they’re going to come in and kick our ass,” Mitchell said. “So for us to continue to stay level-headed throughout, and just be who we are, that’s the biggest thing.” Down by 10 at halftime, Cleveland raised its defensive intensity in the third quarter and outscored Orlando 33-15. The Magic went just 4 of 24 from the field in the period and seemed hesitant while waiting for Banchero to do more.
“It’s cool just having him in my ear a little bit, just telling me to keep going, stay confident in myself. I really needed it.”
