Thanks to the Cavaliers, 114-102 victory over the Raptors. Then the game seven, they will take on the Pistons in game one. I mean, round two, game one, if third is a Tuesday, right? Tuesday. All righty. Let's see what happened in this game. They got a monster game from Jared Allen. They've been waiting for this 22 points on 7-11 shooting 19 rebounds.
Chapter 7: How do the Cavs and Pistons match up for the next round?
James Harden had 18 points. Donovan Mitchell had 22 points. Evan Mobley had 13 points. Max Cruz and Sam Merrill both came off the bench and gave you 12 and 13 points respectively. Toronto hung around as long as they could, and once they couldn't get separation early in that first half, they got up by as many as 12, 13 points.
Joe, when you looked at half and the score was tied, I thought the Raptors might be in a little trouble. What did you like about Cleveland? How was Cleveland able to take control of this ballgame in the third quarter and really never feel threatened after that? I thought it was a great first half. Uncle Ocho, naked neck, obviously.
High game at the half, but coming out that third quarter, man, I thought Cleveland really put their stamp on the game. I mean... They really locked in. I thought James Harden got going. Donovan got going.
Chapter 8: What are the implications of this playoff performance for Mitchell and Harden?
Jared Allen was great the entire night. They got great contributions from pretty much everybody who played. It was good to see, man, because honestly, I know James Harden and Donovan Mitchell, they hear the whispers, bro. Whether they acknowledge them, whether they acknowledge them or not.
You know, they hear the whispers because we've all spoke about them and about them being great in the postseason and what a game for them to come through. For the squad, everybody played great, but I just thought Cleveland were the better team. Nobody won on nobody's home court. Everybody took their home court. Now, what did we say when the series started, Uncle Ocho?
I think we all pretty much felt that this was going to go seven games. Yeah. And it did. So home court advantage prevails. Now what Cleveland has to figure out is, you know, can they be good on the road, bro? Yeah, because they don't have home court. Nope.
Nope.
Look, I thought Toronto lost this game, guys, on the offensive glass. You gave up 20 offensive rebounds. You was minus 27 in the rebounding category. They had Cleveland, 60 rebounds. Toronto, 33. Well, if you give up 60 rebounds and 20 on the offensive end, eventually that's going to bite you in the butt. There's no way to have plus 20, 22, 23, maybe even 25 points on second chance points.
You cannot allow a team to constantly pound you on the offensive glass and then somehow you think you're going to win this ballgame. Win the game, yeah. It's just not going to happen. And Jared Allen, this is the Jared Allen that everybody's like, bro, he was an all-star a couple years ago, guys. And when he plays like this, they're very difficult to beat because you don't run plays for him.
He gets everything off the glass. He's diving to the rim. He's catching lobs. He's an outstanding defender. Oh, man. He picked a great time to have this best game because I'm afraid if he didn't have a game like this, I'm not so sure they'd win this ball game.
Oh, Joe, go ahead. Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. I'm not sure they win this ball game either. If you look at Harden and you look at Donovan Mitchell, the numbers they put up tonight, but look how many shots they had to put up to get those numbers. They didn't really shoot well. They weren't really efficient because of Jared Allen's play is one of the reasons why they won this game.
And honestly, I'm going to tell you the truth, Joe. I'm watching the game in the beginning, the first quarter. I mean, the way the Raptors came out, I'm thinking, well, hell, it's going to be a long night for the Cavs. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Donovan was missing early. You know, James Harden, you know, he hit a shot here and there, but they really couldn't get anything going offensively.
