In their comeback victory against the Pistons, Ivica Zubac and Isaiah Hartenstein were two of the most impactful players on the Clippers’ roster that game. The Cavaliers’ status as the sixth seed in a stacked Eastern Conference, however, threatened the momentum they acquired after their latest win. The momentum was ultimately lost, as the Clippers dropped the game in overtime, 120-111 on the road.
Both teams clearly exhibited a similar type of energy while on the court—for the Clippers, it might be from their comeback mentality, while for the Cavaliers, it certainly is from their youth and the confidence that goes with it.
