The Cleveland Cavaliers had plenty of chances to end this series in Game 6 on Friday night. They didn’t come out with the effort they needed, the late-game offense was bad, and a costly turnover with the shot clock off cost them a chance to put the game away at the line.
They need to put all of those blunders behind them. Their season, and maybe this era of Cleveland basketball, comes down to just one game. Game 7 on Sunday evening against the Toronto Raptors.

This group, led by Donovan Mitchell, has only played in one other Game 7. That was back in 2024 when they defeated the Orlando Magic. Back then, they also had an ugly Game 6 loss where Cleveland failed to win a single game on the road that series. The Cavs are hoping history repeats itself on Sunday.
