The resilience of this Cavaliers squad was on full display as they erased an 18-point third-quarter deficit, marking their 14th win in their last 15 games.
What makes this victory even more impressive is that they accomplished it without their star, Donovan Mitchell, who was sidelined for scheduled rest.
Evan Mobley contributed 20 points of his own as Cleveland’s supporting cast stepped up when needed most.
This comeback victory follows closely on the heels of their 22-point rally against Boston earlier in the week, further cementing their reputation as a team that never quits.
“Celtics fans shaking rn,” one fan commented, while another noted, “That’s why one player performance doesn’t matter, a team’s unity matter.”

The game itself was a physical battle featuring 70 combined free throws and multiple key players fouling out.
As the playoff picture comes into clearer focus, the Cavaliers have firmly established themselves as legitimate contenders.
Their ability to adapt, overcome adversity, and find different heroes each night has the Cleveland faithful dreaming big.
