Summary
The Cleveland Cavaliers erased a 9-point deficit with under three minutes left, forcing overtime and escaping Detroit 117-113 behind 30 points from James Harden, 20 off the bench from Max Strus, and clutch buckets from Donovan Mitchell and Evan Mobley. The win sparked a heated debate on 92.3 The Fan about whether the Harden trade has been validated — with hosts arguing the Cavs simply don't survive the Toronto series or climb back in this one without him. Now up 3-2 and heading home for Game 6, Cleveland fans are daring to believe again, but the question hanging over the city is whether this team has finally earned their trust — or if the other shoe is still waiting to drop.
