Evan Mobley emphasized composure and collective execution after the Cleveland Cavaliers escaped with a 117-113 overtime victory over the Detroit Pistons in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. “Just keep going like that. Every minute, every second counts at the end of games like this and I think we stayed like that until the end,” Mobley said, describing the mentality behind Cleveland’s comeback from a nine-point deficit in the final minutes of regulation. The Cavaliers turned a 103-94 hole into a dramatic finish, closing regulation on a 9-0 run before carrying the momentum into overtime. Mobley highlighted the execution of multiple players on key possessions. “We could have let it go and relaxed, but everyone came up with some big plays down the stretch and Max had some big plays. I had some big plays, James, Don, everyone was connected at the end of the game and focused,” he said.
