Faced with the Lakers quickly deprived of Anthony Davis, the Cavs were respected at home. Victory 116-102 in line with an immense Donovan Mitchell.
For the home score box of this match, it’s here.
We were expecting a new Anthony Davis show in Cleveland, even another triumphant return of King LeBron James to his Ohio lands, but it is ultimately a third thief who will get the laurels tonight. While he remained on a terrible match against the Knicks, Donovan Mitchell found something to be forgiven when the Lakers came. After a serious first act where he will have alternated between scoring and caviar to a dominant Jarrett Allen, the Cavs’ favorite fullback warmed up to end the game as hot as a volcano. The stats sheet dazzles the eyes: 43 points, 6 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 17/27 shooting. More than numbers, it is also the quality of the actions of the man who marked the spirits and his ability to hurt LA at the right time. Blind pass, big and one, acrobatic finish, step back on the head of his defender, in short, we will see him everywhere in the morning Top 10. We will especially remember this nag money time where he puts the head of the Lakers under water almost on his own, to finish under the MVP of the Cleveland public. The boss of the Cavs, quite simply.

On the Lakers side, the march will have been a little high tonight. Anthony Davis seized up and quickly left for the locker room, the Angelinos found themselves with quite a thorn in the side. Despite everything, the collective will have held the road for a long time with a productive bench to support LeBron James and Russell Westbrook. Thomas Bryant will notably have scored points in interim behind AD. Neck and neck with their hosts until the start of money time, the Lakers completely let go at the worst of times, chaining losses of ball and bad choices in attack while Spida destroyed them on the other side of the field. The good series of the moment (3 victories) therefore ends this evening in Cleveland and we will not have to cry too long over his fate because the Purple and Gold are expected tomorrow on the side of Toronto for a back-to-back not really fun . To see the decisions of the staff for Davis and a LeBron James visibly still embarrassed by his ankle.
Donovan Mitchell on cloud nine, Cleveland calms the Lakers down at Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse. LeBron James found his land tonight but the new king of Ohio is called Spida.
