Lost 20 points! The Cavaliers fell behind 1-3 again, with a 4.5% chance of advancing

In the G4 of the Eastern Conference Semi-finals of the NBA Playoffs, the Cleveland Cavaliers encountered the darkest battle in team history! He was 41 points behind 39-80 at halftime, and had no strength to fight back in the whole game. He finally lost to the Pacers 109-129. He fell behind 1-3 in the series and was on the verge of elimination.

In this game, the Cavaliers' team sleepwalking, the core Mitchell was completely lost, while the Pacers blossomed more points, and Halliburton led the team to easily win the match point!

In this game, the Cavaliers were in a disaster-level performance from the beginning, and they were so bad that they were so poor that they only scored 39 points in the first half, setting the lowest score in the halftime this season.

And the Cavaliers sent 20 assists in the whole game, but made as many as 22 mistakes, and the Pacers scored 35 points by making mistakes; in addition, they scored inside. The Cavaliers have an inside height that many teams envied, but in the whole game, Mobley + Allen made 3 of 8 shots, scoring only 12 points, and the Cavaliers scored a total of 32 points in the inside.

In contrast, the Pacers scored 58 points in the inside, Turner made 7 of 13 shots by one by one, made 4 of 4 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

In the last game of G3, Mitchell scored 43 points to lead the team to win, but in this game he made only 3 of 11 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, and only scored 12 points, with a plus-minus value of -35 the worst in the game. The Cavaliers made a total of 9 of 22 shots in the backcourt, completely locked by the Pacers' defense.

What's more fatal is that Mitchell was suspected of being injured while shooting warm-up in the half and did not return in the second half.

In contrast, six players in the team scored in double digits, three of whom scored 20 points, and substitutes scored 58 points.

In NBA playoff history, the probability of a team that fell behind 1-3 is only 4.5%. If the Cavaliers want to advance, they must work hard to win a goal at home in G5, otherwise they will be out of the Eastern Conference semi-finals for two consecutive years.

The last time the Cavaliers fell behind 1-3 in the playoffs was in the finals of the 2015-16 season. The opponent was the Warriors. Under the leadership of James and Irving, the Cavaliers won three consecutive victories and directly reversed and won the championship.

This time, can the knight create a miracle?

After the Cavaliers lost the big score, US media Hoops updated X, posted a picture and wrote. "Are the Cavaliers the most overrated first seed in history?"

For the Cavaliers, G5's return to home is already on the edge of a cliff, but the more severe challenge is in the offseason. If the Cavaliers lose, will the double gun be dismantled? How to strengthen the inside line? Will the coach be dismissed?
