1-10! The Cavaliers are stunned! The worst team leader emerges.

After listening to Cavaliers vs. Raptors Game 4...

One player shot 32 out of 87 (10 out of 40 from three-point range), with an approximate 37% shooting percentage; another shot 31 out of 97 (4 out of 30 from three-point range), with only about 32% shooting percentage.

Ultimately, the Raptors, with their more extensive experience in missing shots (tongue-in-cheek), dominated the Cavaliers 93-89 at home, grinding them into the ground. The series is now tied 2-2, and the upcoming pivotal Game 5 will be held in Cleveland.

Cavaliers statistics are as follows:

Harden shot 6 out of 14, scoring 19 points with 8 assists, but also committed 7 turnovers. Mitchell attempted 24 shots, making only 6, missing 18 times, resulting in only 20 points along with 6 rebounds and 3 assists.

Raptors statistics are as follows:

Despite poor shooting, the Raptors' defense has always been commendable, as mentioned above, successfully stifling the Cavaliers' two core players.

The "New King of the North," Barnes, has averaged 25.8 points, 4.8 rebounds, 7.3 assists, 1 steal, and 1.3 blocks per game in the playoffs so far this year, with a shooting percentage of 52.3%. He averages hitting 1.8 three-pointers per game at a 46.7% rate, clearly a high-level all-around player.

In contrast, the Cavaliers' star player Mitchell has averaged 24.3 points, 5.3 rebounds, 3.8 assists, and 1 steal per game in the playoffs so far this year, averaging 3.3 three-pointers per game at a 36.1% shooting rate. His performance has not been as impressive as during the regular season (averaging 27.9 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.7 assists, and 1.5 steals per game).

A true star should contribute more in the playoffs than in the regular season.

According to statistics,Since Mitchell brought his talent to Cleveland, the Cavaliers' playoff record against teams with a winning percentage over 50% on away games is a pitiful 1 win and 10 losses.

It is worth noting that Mitchell is currently entangled in trade rumors. Recently, TA reporter Katz indicated that if this seven-time All-Star guard refuses to sign an early extension this summer, the Cavaliers might trade him. His current contract includes a player option for the 27-28 season, meaning he could choose to enter the free market as early as the summer of 2027.

Therefore, this year's playoffs are crucial. If they exit in the first round, then Mitchell and the Cavaliers should seriously consider their future; parting ways could also be for a better restart.
