<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Cleveland Cavaliers Looking to Regain Home Court</h2>



<p>Cleveland lost a tight game one at home, but they will be happy with how they bounced back as they scored a dominant game two victory.

The Cavs needed this win to stay in the serios and they played with their hair on fire.</p>



<p>The Cavs were led by the three-headed monster of Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell, and Evan Mobley. Garland had 32 points and seven assists, Mitchell added 17 points and 13 assists, and Mobley chipped in with 13 points and 13 rebounds. A big performance when it was needed most.</p>
