Cleveland took a commanding 2-0 series lead after another dominant performance in Game 2.
Last posteason served as a learning experience for a young Cleveland Cavaliers team. This year's playoffs will serve as a lesson on how to handle a 2-0 series lead.
He had nearly outscored the Magic in the first quarter, as the Cavaliers led 30-18. Mitchell registered another 30-point performance, on 40% shooting. He has 60 points through two games. A lot is expected of star players this time of year and Mitchell has been brilliant so far.In a game where Donovan Mitchell took over, the Cavaliers got contributions from all across the roster. Truthfully, it felt like everyone who played had a moment.
Isaac Okoro was another role player who stepped up in a big way. During a three-minute stretch in the second quarter, the defensive specialist knocked down two threes, had eight total points and snagged a couple hustle steals. He made several big plays thoughtout the game that got the crown going. Even someone like Max Strus, who once again didn't have a huge scoring night, wound up making a number of hustle plays and finished with nine boards, to match his nine from Game 1.The Magic haven't been anything special from three this season – they only shot 35% from long-range. It's also becoming obvious that they have almost no chance of beating Cleveland if they can't start getting some of the outside shots to fall.
