Summary
Ken and Lima play audio from Detroit's morning show on 97.1 The Ticket, and are surprised to find the Motor City hosts making almost the exact same officiating complaints that Cleveland fans have been making all series, with the free throw disparity in Game 4 being particularly glaring. Callers weigh in with their own takes on how the Cavs can steal Game 5 on the road, with one comparing the situation to the 2016 Finals and arguing the Cavs need a signature dual performance from Mitchell and Harden similar to what LeBron and Kyrie did in Golden State. Ken and Lima both agree that Harden's 11 assists and 2 turnovers were even more valuable than his 24 points, and that the real key to winning on the road is the Cavs matching Detroit's physicality from tip-off rather than waiting to wake up in the second half.
