Cavs' Evan Mobley Wows NBA Fans with Clutch Block in Game 5 Win vs. Banchero, Magic

Another game in the first-round series between the Cleveland Cavaliers and Orlando Magic and another home team victory.

This time it was Cleveland defending home-court advantage at Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse in Tuesday's Game 5 with a 104-103 win, which gave it a 3-2 lead in the series. Evan Mobley played the role of defensive hero with a game-saving block on Franz Wagner in the final seconds when the Cavaliers were holding onto a two-point lead.

His interior defensive presence was even more important because Cleveland was without big man Jarrett Allen because of a rib injury.

Mobley posted a double-double of 14 points, 13 rebounds, four assists, two steals and two blocks, while Donovan Mitchell (28 points) and Darius Garland (23 points) spearheaded the scoring efforts.

Every point was necessary considering Paolo Banchero was so dominant on the other side with 39 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Yet the Magic went to Wagner with the game on the line, and social media reacted to Mobley's block:

While Mobley was the late hero, Garland set the tone in the early going.

He poured in 17 points in the first quarter alone as he caught fire from three-point range, while Mitchell did the heavy lifting as a scorer in the second quarter. It seemed like the Cavaliers were going to run away with things as they built a double-digit lead.

However, the Magic came flying back with Banchero doing a little bit of everything.

He attacked the basket, unleashed from three-point range and demonstrated soft touch in the lane. The Cavaliers had no answers for extended stretches, especially with Mitchell struggling with his outside shot.

Yet Garland and Mobley fittingly made the biggest offensive play of the game with the guard dicing his way through the defense and finding the big man for an easy look to extend the lead to four in the final minute.

Orlando still closed to within two with a chance to tie, but the Mobley block gave the Cavaliers the win and the opportunity to close the series on the road in Friday's Game 6.
