Summary
Cleveland’s playoff collapse shocked fans after they blew a 22-point Game 1 lead against the Knicks, ultimately getting swept in the East. Donovan Mitchell, their star, blamed the team for self-sabotage, calling their failures “playing with your food” — missing chances to close out games despite his own stellar scoring. Now, the Knicks await their Finals opponent, set to face either San Antonio or Oklahoma City in a tightly contested Western Conference Finals. For Cleveland, the emotional toll of that collapse looms large as they watch their season unravel. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
