Episode Details

Despite Donovan Mitchells 30 points, the Cleveland Cavaliers fell to the Boston Celtics, 109-98, on Sunday. Evan Mobley contributed 24 points and 8 rebounds, while James Harden had 19 points and 10 assists. The Celtics pulled away in the third quarter, leading 81-55, and secured the win. Jaylen Brown nearly achieved a triple-double with 23 points, 9 rebounds, and 8 assists, and Jayson Tatum added 20 points in his return from a torn Achilles. This loss ended Clevelands seven-game home winning streak and handed Boston a three-game season sweep. The Celtics now trail the Eastern Conference-leading Detroit Pistons by just three games, while the Cavaliers dropped to fourth place, four games behind Boston. Clevelands next games are against the Magic, Lakers, Hawks, Pelicans, and Mavericks, none from the top four in either conference. If the playoffs started today, the Cavs would face the fifth-seeded Toronto Raptors, whom theyve lost to all three times this season, but have a chance to turn things around with Harden on the team.
