His winning streak snapped at 15 consecutive wins. However, the Cleveland Cavaliers' performance remained strong. This is assessed by local media.
CBS Sports said on Monday (Korea time) that Cleveland lost 117-120 to the Boston Celtics. However, it gained a lot of optimism.
Cleveland lost 115-120 to Boston in Group C of the 2024-2025 NBA regular league and cup tournament at TD Garden in Boston, Massachusetts on the 20th.
It was defending champion Boston and unbeaten Cleveland.
Boston's potential was powerful. Jason Tatum scored 33 points, and Al Horford scored 20, and Derrick White scored 19. Boston beat Cleveland, though there was no team-leading big man Kristaps Porzingis.바카라사이트
On the other hand, for Cleveland, Donovan Mitchell struggled with 35 points, but Darius Garland was extremely sluggish.
However, I am optimistic. Why.
CBS Sports said that Cleveland's wing resources were wiped out by injuries. Three of them were absent: Isaac Okoro, Karis LeVert and Dean Wade. Okoro and LeVert have a success rate of over 44 percent in three-point shooting this season. "Without three wing resources, Cleveland's lineup will be extreme. It is divided into small guards named Mitchell and Garland, and big men named Jarrett Allen and Mobley."
"Boston dominated the one-on-one match on the day, and attempted 41 3-pointers with drive-and-kick (passes that split to both sides after breaking through the basket)," he said. "Boston was able to make the miss match he wanted with a simple ball screen on the half court."
"Tatham and Brown easily made a mismatch, and Cleveland had no choice but to play defense as assistance. If that happens, it will be open on the wing and corner," the media said. "Boston made 41 3-pointers and made 21 attempts using this tactic. It recorded a whopping 54% success rate of 3-pointers."
In other words, the absence of Cleveland's wing resources helped Boston maximize its organizational power and create the most efficient three-point shooting open chance, which eventually contributed to the victory.
The media outlet said, "Even Cleveland has strong 3-pointers. He makes an average of 15 3-pointers per game this season. However, he made only 10 in the game against Boston. There is a whopping 36 points difference. However, the final score was a three-point loss. It is a very positive statistical signal."
However, he said, "Boston's defense capability is amazing. Therefore, we should pay attention to the possibility that it blocked Cleveland's 3-point shooting opportunity. Boston has the ability to block Mitchell and Garland."
Statistics show that Cleveland can take strong revenge when wing resources return. However, it also means that Cleveland's three-point shooting productivity decline due to Boston's strong defense capability should be considered.
However, there is another twist.
"Mitchell is one of the deadliest pull-up shooters in the league. Garland has had more than 40 percent success rate in three-point shooting this season," the media said. "Cland is 36 points apart in the three-point shooting competition. Boston had more than average three-point shooting of 54 percent. Okoro, Wade and LeVert were all out for Cleveland. However, they lost the game by a three-point margin. It is a very positive sign for Cleveland."
Cleveland crushed the New Orleans Pelicans 128-100 shortly after their 16-game winning streak failed. The main players won so overwhelmingly that they hardly played in the fourth quarter.
