Cleveland Cavaliers exit NBA Playoffs, waste 35 points from injured Donovan Mitchell in Game 5 loss to Indiana Pacers.

All four rounds of the NBA playoffs are best-of-seven, and teams are not reseeded after each round. The team with the better regular-season record in each series will have home-court advantage for that series. All series are played in a 2-2-1-1-1 format, with the team with the better record hosting Games 1, 2, 5 and 7 (if necessary).

With his legacy on the line and facing an MRI after an ankle injury, Mitchell vows to play in Game 5, but the Wine and Gold Talk podcast crew debates whether risking his health is worth it.

The Indiana Pacers advanced to the Eastern Conference Finals with a 114-105 win over the Cleveland Cavaliers on May 13.

The Cavs are back at full strength and just in time. Three critical players return as Cleveland looks to flip the series in Game 3.
