Cleveland used strong second and third quarters to cruise past Detroit 125-94 and reach the conference finals for the first time since 2018. The Cavaliers have also now won six straight Game 7s. They will face the New York Knicks in the Eastern Conference finals.

It was a comprehensive offensive attack for Cleveland all night. Donovan Mitchell led the team with 26 points along with eight assists and seven rebounds. Jarrett Allen put up 23 points, and Evan Mobley had 21 points. Sam Merrill added 23 off the bench.
