Cavs' Evan Mobley Wows NBA Fans with Clutch Block in Game 5 Win vs. Banchero, Magic

Another game in the first-round series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic and another home team victory.

This time it was Cleveland defending home-court advantage at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Tuesday's Game 5 with a 104-103 win, which gave it a 3-2 lead in the series. Evan Mobley played the role of defensive hero with a game-saving block on Franz Wagner in the final seconds when the Cavaliers were holding onto a two-point lead.

His interior defensive presence was even more important because Cleveland was without big man Jarrett Allen because of a rib injury.

Mobley posted a double-double of 14 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks, while Donovan Mitchell (28 points) and Darius Garland (23 points) spearheaded the scoring efforts.
