Cavaliers Win Game 7 on Road, Did The Cavs Win Last Night

Yes — did the cavs win last night. Cleveland beat Detroit in Game 7 on the road Sunday night and ended the Eastern Conference semifinal series with a blowout. Donovan Mitchell reached the conference finals for the first time, and the Cavaliers did it away from home.

Mitchell’s Game 7

Mitchell was the center of the result. The Cavaliers guard matched Kobe with a Game 7 stat line, then walked off with his first trip to the conference finals after Cleveland finished the job in Detroit.

The game was the seventh and final meeting of the Eastern Conference semifinal series, so there was no cushion left for either side. Cleveland turned that pressure into a road win and closed out the series on Sunday night.

Detroit’s Season Ends

Detroit’s exit came with a 31-point loss in Game 7, a margin that left no late push to chase. The defeat ended the semifinal series and sent Cleveland forward while the Pistons stopped at the final game of the round.

The result also fits into a broader evening around the NBA playoffs, which included Amazon Prime Video’s first season of partnership with the league. Before tipoff, Blake Griffin joked from the studio set, “It’s Sunday, Shams – go to brunch, you nerd.”

For Cleveland, the key fact is simple: the road win sent the Cavaliers into the conference finals. For Mitchell, it marked a first trip to that stage and a Game 7 line that put him next to Kobe in the record book.
