It has been six years since Cleveland advanced to the second round of the playoffs since the 2017-2018 season when ‘King’ LeBron James played.

In the 2017-2018 season, they advanced to the championship game, but lost to the Golden State Warriors and finished the season as runners-up.

This is the first time in 31 years that Cleveland has won a playoff series without James, since the 1992-1993 season.

Cleveland, which was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, was down by as many as 18 points, 29-47, at one point in the second quarter, and there was an air of defeat.

In addition, Cleveland was at a disadvantage as starting center Jarrett Allen missed games 5 through 7 due to rib pain.

However, Cleveland, which succeeded in a comeback thanks to the performance of Donovan Mitchell, who scored 39 points alone, won by 12 points.

Mitchell scored 50 points in Game 6, which Cleveland lost, and scored 39 points that day, leading Cleveland to advance to the second round.

Overturning an 18-point gap in the final 7th game of the playoffs is the largest margin overturn since the 1997-1998 season when the NBA began keeping records.

Orlando, led by coach Jamal Mosley, who played for Seoul Samsung, a domestic professional basketball team, achieved the achievement of advancing to the playoffs for the first time in four years since the 2019-2020 season.

Coach Mosley was recognized for his leadership by coming in second in Coach of the Year voting, behind Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Deignault.
