Cavaliers and Celtics met tonight in Ohio to battle it out, in a summit of the Eastern Conference. The clash kept its promises and, four days following a first victory for the Cavs thanks to 41 points from Caris LeVert AND Donovan Mitchell, the players of JB Bickerstaff once once more feasted. A meeting which this time ended up rocking thanks to the duo Darius Garland – Donovan Mitchell, finally reunited for the greatest misfortune of 29 NBA franchises.
THE HOME STATS OF THIS COMPLETELY CRAZY MATCH, IT’S RIGHT HERE
As the seconds tick by on the scoreboard, the Celtics are trailing by two small points – 105 to 107 – and will have the opportunity to pick up the score to snatch overtime. Who says hot ball necessarily says Jayson Tatum. The guy grabs the swell, overtakes Dean Wade – so far everything is normal, but the rest is insane – and arrives launched like a hornet on poor Jarrett Allen. The poster is sensational and the Celtics snatch the extension thanks to a counter a few seconds later from… Jayson Tatum. Male. Alpha.
A few more minutes of happiness that will end up smiling at the Cavs, who will finally win 114-113 following a final attempt by Jaylen Brown. But long before this outcome, this duel was an opportunity to see Darius Garland put on his sneakers once more. And the least we can say is that the leader was not there to laugh. From the start, the one-eyed man is in good rhythm and he will show the way to his team. Penetration, bomblets, Darius Garland is in his works, well assisted by Kevin Love as soon as he comes into play. The fifteen pawns for DG following barely 10 minutes of play, opposite it is Jaylen Brown who holds the house with the help from Malcolm Brogdon, still just as clean and efficient off the bench, the duel was tight, but it’s Boston leading 56-50 at the break, so we’re still a long way from THIS:

In the second half the pace did not slow down, the two rosters embarked on a hands and hands which definitely reminds us why it is positive not to sleep. As you already know, the game will be played in overtime and the Cavs will grab a sixth straight win. Darius Garland is no stranger to it with 29 pawns, 12 assists and 5 rebounds, vIsibly his eye is better and the zinzin has even swung the distant bombs with a very nice 45% of the parking lot. Once the C’s have managed to limit it? It was Donovan Mitchell who came out of his box. The former Jazz player indeed planted 25 points, including 9 in the last quarter, while the twin towers Evan Mobley (phenomenal deterrent weapon this night, beyond the stats) and Jarrett Allen s occupied with defending and swallowing the slightest rebound.
The association of all these beautiful people is necessarily freaking out even if Boston has sold its skin dearly. In the money time thanks to Jayson Tatum, but also by the power of a Jaylen Brown who walked on Caris Calvert LeVert to finish with 30 pearls, 8 rebounds and 4 assists. Performances, players on fire, defense, highlights and a goofy ending…it wafted like the scent of spring in Ohio. One thing is certain, this is a match that will make the coffee machine talk. Just as a reminder, the Cavs are in second place in the East with six wins and one loss.
Darius Garland got back to business and put on a stellar performance to lead the Cavs to victory. On the other side the Jay Brothers have tried everything but they fail by nothing once morest the individual and collective strength of Cleveland. Are we going to release the magic expression on November 3? Come on, let’s get crazy: Cavs – Celtics, give us a streak in seven in May.
