Final score Donovan Mitchell 50 points Cleveland Cavaliers lose 103-96 Orlando Magic Game 6
Cavs fall short in Game 6 as Mitchell scores 50 points, but lacks support. Game 7 looms, can they bounce back?
The Cleveland Cavaliers missed a golden opportunity in a heartbreaking 103-96 loss to the Orlando Magic in Game 6. Donovan Mitchell put on a show, scoring 50 points on an impressive 22-36 shooting. His dazzling performance was supported by Darius Garland, who contributed 21 points and made tough shots alongside Mitchell throughout the game.
However, the fourth quarter proved to be the Cavaliers' downfall. Garland's three turnovers, including an eight-second violation, derailed any hopes of a comeback. To make matters worse, the rest of the team, with the exception of Mitchell, failed to score in the final period. Mitchell single-handedly carried the team with 18 points, outscoring his teammates combined.
The lackluster performances from Evan Mobley and the bench only added to the Cavaliers' woes. With Game 7 approaching, the team has a short turnaround to regroup after a devastating loss. Mitchell, who has been carrying the team all season, may be running out of steam.
Injuries have plagued the Cavaliers all season, putting immense pressure on Mitchell to perform. To advance past the first round, Mitchell will need another extraordinary effort or much-needed support from his teammates. The season hangs in the balance, and Mitchell's brilliance may not be enough to carry the team to victory.
