Did Donovan Mitchell Just Save the Cavs' Season?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Donovan Mitchell tied an NBA playoff record with 39 second-half points to drag the Cavs back to 2-2 against Detroit, and the morning show is trying to figure out if this is a turning point or just a stay of execution. Ken Carman returns from vacation to find a completely different series than the one he left, with Mitchell, Harden, and Evan Mobley all delivering their best performances of the postseason on the same night for the first time. Ken and LIma are quick to point out that the Cavs still haven't won a road game in this series, and given how bad things looked in Games 1 and 2, it's hard to say Cleveland is "back in control" rather than simply back to even. The big question heading into Game 5 in Detroit: was this a sign of what this team is truly capable of, or just one magical night?
