Fedor hit the nail on the head:
Cleveland went just 6 of 19 from the field and 2 of 7 from 3-point range while committing five turnovers during the final 12 minutes.
Denver, meanwhile, was 10 of 21 from the field and 5 of 8 from deep in the fourth, showing its mettle and maturity when it mattered most. The Nuggets made the plays -- and shots -- the Cavs couldn’t.
And...
The Cavs entered Thursday’s game against Denver with a specific game plan: pound the ball inside relentlessly...After tallying 60 points in the paint through the first three quarters, the Cavs had just eight in the fourth...Mobley went just 0 of 2 from the field [and one was a tip attempt on a teammate's missed shot].
Thursday night wasn’t a one-time deal...Cedi Osman and Caris LeVert get nearly as many fourth-quarter shots as Mobley and there are 117 NBA players who average more fourth-quarter attempts.
How is it possible that this 7-foot unicorn, who is unfazed in the biggest moments and even earned the nickname “Fourth Quarter Ev” because of his late-game success at various points this season, keeps getting ignored?
“That just comes with knowing each other in late-game situations,” Mitchell said. “It’s all about knowing each other and getting better.”....
[Mobley] didn’t score in the fourth quarter. He took just two shot attempts. Rarely even touched the ball.
“That can’t happen,” All-Star guard Donovan Mitchell said following the 115-109 loss. “That starts with myself and Darius (Garland). We’ve got to get Ev the ball."
They did say that Denver was fronting Mobley in the 4th quarter and trying to keep the ball out of his hands. My comment is that the Cavs were 3-for-16 on 3's at halftime. If they had made a few more 3's in the first half (or the second), it wouldn't matter that Mobley didn't score in the 4th.
