Cavaliers seek more from Evan Mobley as East finals shift to Cleveland
If the Cleveland Cavaliers are going to dig out of another 2-0 playoff series deficit, they’ll need Evan Mobley to be more aggressive.
Mobley had 14 points in the first half but did not score after halftime in Cleveland's 109-93 loss to the New York Knicks.
The Cavaliers are hoping for better production out of their fifth-year forward on Saturday night when the Eastern Conference Finals shift to Cleveland for Game 3.
Mobley is averaging 16.7 points during the playoffs, which is third on the Cavaliers.
But he hasn't been a factor during critical moments in Cleveland's losses.
