Sunday will feature a high-voltage NBA matchup when the Cavaliers travel to Los Angeles to face the Lakers; both teams will be playing on consecutive days after their respective victories on Monday.
The Cavs relied on Mobley's season-high performance to defeat the Utah Jazz last Monday; he scored 34 points, several of which contributed to the fourth-quarter run that broke the tie; he also grabbed 16 rebounds and added three blocks. Mitchell matched him with 34 points, and both received pinpoint passes from Harden all night, who tallied 14 assists.
The Lakers, the hottest team in the league, also excel in crucial moments, similar to the Cavaliers. Their only recent stumble was a close loss to the league-leading Pistons in an excellent March, where they racked up 14 wins. They had no trouble defeating the Wizards on Monday and are coming into this game in better shape than ever to beat Cleveland and get revenge, having lost to them three times since October 2014.
