CAVS POSTCAST: Cleveland Cavaliers Seize Momentum as James Harden DESTROYS Pistons in Game 5

Cleveland Cavaliers edge out the Detroit Pistons with James Harden’s relentless dominance and clutch overtime heroics. Is this Cleveland’s breakthrough moment in the NBA Playoffs?

The duo highlights Max Strus’s decisive steals, Evan Mobley’s all-around impact—including key late-game threes and stout defense—and crucial contributions from Dennis Schroder and Jarrett Allen. Discussion centers on Cleveland’s adjustments, Detroit’s missed opportunities, and what it will take to close out the series in Game 6 back at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse.

Will Donovan Mitchell unleash his superpowers for the series clincher? Can this emerging big three propel Cleveland toward a deeper postseason run? Don’t miss every insight and playoff storyline as the Cavaliers eye a trip to the next round.
