It is the first time in six years that Cleveland reached the second round of the playoffs since the 2017-2018 season when LeBron James played. In the 2017-2018 season, it advanced to the championship game but lost to the Golden State Warriors and finished the season as the runner-up. It is the first time in 31 years that Cleveland won a playoff series without James since the 1992-1993 season.

Cleveland, which was eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, lost 18 points in the second quarter as it was dragged 29-47. In addition, Cleveland was in a disadvantageous situation as its starting center Jarrett Allen missed all of the fifth and seventh games due to rib pain.

However, he turned the tables by banking on Donovan Mitchell's performance, which enabled him to garner a 12-point victory. Mitchell scored 50 points in the sixth game in which Cleveland lost, and scored 39 points on the day, spearheading Cleveland's advance to the second round. The reversal of the 18-point gap in the final seventh game of the playoffs was the most since the 1997-1998 season when the NBA began compiling the record.

Meanwhile, Orlando, led by head coach Jamal Mosley, who played for Seoul Samsung in the domestic professional basketball league, made it to the playoffs for the first time in four years since the 2019-2020 season.

Mosley was recognized for his leadership by coming in second to Oklahoma City Thunder coach Mark Dignalt in this year's managerial vote.
