The Cleveland Cavaliers will welcome the Detroit Pistons to Rocket Mortgage Fieldhouse for an NBA game on Saturday. The Cleveland Cavaliers lost 117-113 in their last game over the Celtics. Cleveland dropped to 13-19 on the road this season and 19-12 against teams above .500. Darius Garland added 29 points and nine assists for the Cavaliers.
“Tatum’s a heck of a player, Brown’s a heck of a player that knows how to make you pay,” Cavaliers coach J.B. Bickerstaff said. Mitchell’s scary moment came with under six minutes left in the third quarter. While driving into the lane, he lost his footing and tumbled awkwardly to the court, leading to a layup on the other end by Tatum.
Mitchell briefly remained on the floor after the Cavs called a timeout, but he was able to walk to the bench. He stayed in the game when play resumed, scoring Cleveland’s next 10 points and 19 in the quarter. But his teammates managed just seven points, while shooting 3 of 11 from the field. Mitchell told reporters afterward that he felt pain in his groin similar to what kept him out for a total of six games in January and February. “There was no coming out of the game for me,” Mitchell said. “Just trying to find ways to make plays.”
The Detroit Pistons on the other hand lost 115-117 against the Bulls in their last game. Bojan Bogdanovic scored 34 for the Pistons, who have dropped six straight games for the third time this season. “They were the ones that got back in the game,” Donovan said. “I don’t want to make it seem like they did nothing. Chicago (29-34) has won three of four overall this season, clinging to hopes of rallying into a spot in the playoffs.
“We just got to be more focused and locked in and understand these games are our season,” DeRozan said. “We got to treat it like that.” Coby White had 14 points, Nikola Vucevic scored 12 points and Patrick Williams added 11 for the Bulls, who have won 14 straight against Detroit. “Zach had a big play when he drove and drew that foul,” Chicago coach Billy Donovan said.
