After losing to the Indiana Pacers in five games, Donovan Mitchell remains optimistic that the Cavs will bounce back stronger.

Tyrese Haliburton scored 31 points, Pascal Siakam added 21 and the Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 victory over Cleveland, eliminating the top-seeded Cavaliers in five games.

The Cleveland Cavaliers now place themselves on the wrong side of history after second-round exit against the Indiana Pacers.

The Cavs looked like one of the top three teams in the league all year. They’re out in the second round. What do they do next?

Cleveland Cavaliers guard Max Strus attempted to light a fire under his teammates prior to Game 5 of their second-round playoff series. Before Game 5 tipped off, TNT's Jared Greenberg revealed Strus texted the Cavaliers group chat: "If you don't believe, then don't show up for work."

The Magic need more shooting, and the Cavaliers are fresh off of a disappointing playoff series. Could Darius Garland be traded to Orlando?

Despite a coaching change, the Cavs ended their season in the same place — Game 5 of the Eastern Conference semifinals. So all eyes are on the roster.

Yes, the Cavs had injuries. Darius Garland (toe), Evan Mobley (ankle) and De‘Andre Hunter (thumb) missed games. But all were back on the court for the last three games, even if they weren’t 100% healthy.
