There are fifteen seconds left to play. Donovan Mitchell has just missed, narrowly, a mid-distance shot which would have killed the debates. Franz Wagner penetrates, after a screen from Paolo Banchero, and will attempt the last shot to equalize and snatch an extension. Evan Mobley is behind him, but seems far away.
It's only an impression and the German now regrets having attacked the circle facing the inside of the Cavaliers. “It wasn’t the best decision and Evan Mobley did a great thing”, notes Franz Wagner.
Because the 2023 world champion will be picked off by a counter left hand from the Cleveland player. “He did the job to get to the rim, Mobley did a hell of a job”defends his coach Jamahl Mosley.
After this defensive action, the ball will end up in the hands of the Cavaliers, which will then ensure victory.
“It was incredible, a big action”, comments the main person concerned. Evan Mobley had a very good game with 14 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, in the absence of Jarrett Allen in Game 5.
In addition to this blocked shot, he also scored two important baskets in the last 100 seconds of the game. “We needed a game like that in the playoffs”, specifies Darius Garland on the defensive aspect of the meeting, symbolized by this decisive counter from his interior. And Cleveland regains control (3-2) in the series.
