After one of the best regular seasons in franchise history, the Cavaliers find themselves just one loss away from a first-round exit.
Cleveland dropped a competitive Game 4 against New York on Sunday, falling into a 3-1 hole. Cavaliers star Donovan Mitchell struggled against a swarming Knicks defense, scoring just 11 points on 5-of-18 shooting with six turnovers.
The 26-year-old guard took the blame for the loss, telling reporters that he “didn’t show up for my guys.”
“Ultimately, everybody did their job. We had our faults as a group, but I didn’t do what I was supposed to do,” Mitchell said. “I take that. I gotta just be better. … I’ve been here before. It’s just a matter of going out there and trying to be better for my teammates.”
