Cavaliers are behind 1-3 and their lives are hanging on the line! Mitchell is injured on the same day after a year, 64 wins and 18 losses may become a joke

On May 12, the NBA playoffs continued. In today's Eastern Conference semi-finals, the Cavaliers lost 109-129 away to the Pacers, falling behind 1-3 in the series.

The Cavaliers only hit 4 sports goals in the first quarter, and the team scored only 23 points in a single quarter, falling into a situation where they fell behind by 15 points. After the start of the second quarter, the Cavaliers' offensive end did not improve at all. They were crazy 21-2 by the Pacers at the end of the quarter. At the end of the first half, the Cavaliers trailed the Pacers 39-80 to 41 points. The Cavaliers only hit 8 sports goals in the half, setting a record for the lowest half-time goal scores (including regular season, midseason and playoffs). In the second half of the game, the Cavaliers were unable to catch up with points and replaced the main force early and announced their surrender.

Today was a complete defeat for the Cavaliers. Garland scored the team's highest 21 points and 6 assists, Mobley scored 10 points and 5 rebounds, and Struz scored 11 points and 6 rebounds. The most heartbreaking thing is undoubtedly Mitchell. Mitchell only played 20 minutes in the first half today, making 3 of 11 shots, including 1 of 5 three-pointers and 5 of 6 free throws, scoring 12 points, 1 rebound, 1 steal and 1 block, with a plus-minus value -35 the worst team.

Mitchell did not return to the court after the second half. Then, according to Cavaliers reporter Ethan Sands, Mitchell not only had a calf strain, but also faced injuries to his left ankle, and he will miss the return to today's game. It should be noted that on May 12 last year, Mitchell scored 33 points and 6 rebounds in the Eastern Conference semi-finals G3, and the Cavaliers lost to the Celtics. Mitchell was then diagnosed with an injury after the game, and then missed the G4G5, and the Cavaliers were eliminated. Now a year later, Mitchell was injured again on May 12th.

For the Cavaliers, they are now in a desperate situation of falling behind 1-3, and if they lose another game, they will be eliminated. In the regular season this season, the Cavaliers won the best record in the Eastern Conference with 64 wins and 18 losses. Looking at the league, it would undoubtedly be a shameful event if they were eliminated in the semi-finals.

According to the schedule, the Cavaliers will return to home court on May 14 to continue to face the Pacers. Can they win a game back? Let's wait and see!
