Good game and a great block.
As a Magic fan, just delighted to be able to enjoy competitive playoff basketball.
Game 6 will be Epic

Surprised Franz didn't pass that one back to Paolo. They finally got Mobley to switch off of him.

And people want to say Mobley don’t have it in him. He won Cleveland this game on both ends tonight.

Locked him up.

For a couple of plays, sure. But Paolo was feasting on everyone the Cavs threw at him. At 21 btw. Gg.

This is why the Cavs would be fools to trade Mobley. When he's 24-26, he's going to be a monster.

That was a fun game, gutsy performance by a shorthanded Cavs squad.

Paolo is a mismatch destroyer. That 15-18ft turn around fadeaway is unstoppable. Reminds me a lot of Melo tbh

Mobley just shut his water off though in crunch time

Mobley had been locking him up for the past few possessions.

Wagner thought he was playing for the German NT. Should have passed to Banchero for the game winner.

As a Magic fan, we would give Mobley a welcome home, but would also be happy taking Allen or Garland.

Mobley wasn’t on Banchero until late in the 4th lol.

Not on Mobley. That was his point

Good game, series.

Tuff loss for the Magic.

Back to Orlando. Cavs up 3-2 in the series.

He has to work on his offense. The Presence of Mitchell, I think, is holding him back from reaching his offensive peak. They're a worse team without Mitchell but he needs to develop offensive tools.

Who wins?
