Despite his prowess, his ball-handling skills suffered with two turnovers in Thursday's game, and there is much room for improvement.
Shot-taking is an area of significant concern for the Cavaliers. Thursday's game saw a bleak performance with numerous missed shots. If the Cavaliers aim to command a 3-1 series lead, they must rectify this issue quickly. Alarming turnovers from their top players compound this concern.
