Summary
Cleveland’s coaching gamble paid off early—Kenny Atkinson led the Cavs to their first Eastern Conference Finals in years, surviving brutal back-to-back seven-game series. But they crumbled against the Knicks, blowing a big lead in Game 5 and getting swept. Atkinson’s regular-season success (including Coach of the Year) contrasts with playoff struggles, and the Harden-Mitchell pairing, born of hope and urgency, now faces doubt. Yet both stars stand behind Atkinson, signaling the team’s commitment to sticking together despite the disappointment. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
