Watch: Cavaliers' Evan Mobley turns defense into offense in Game 2 vs. Celtics

In Game 1, the Celtics out-rebounded the Cavaliers 55-38. Though without big man Jarrett Allen for a fifth-straight game, Mobley has helped Cleveland respond, winning the rebounding battle (35-25) heading into the fourth quarter of Game 2. Five Cavaliers players had four or more rebounds through three quarters, led by Mobley with nine. 

Mobley would hit the bench late in the third quarter after picking up his fourth foul. However, nursing a nine-point lead, a buzzer-beater three by Donovan Mitchell gave the Cavaliers a 12-point advantage, 90-78, heading into the final stanza.
