The Cavaliers have a lot to think about now as they look for better results next season. The loss is still fresh on their minds, including that of Cavaliers star guard Donovan Mitchell. Mitchell spoke to the media on Wednesday and admitted that he had not been to sleep yet, but he had watched the game back twice.

Led by their All-Star, Tyrese Haliburton, the Pacers beat the Cavaliers in five games. Mitchell, considered one of the top shooting guards in the NBA, still hasn't reached the conference finals in his career.

The Cleveland Cavaliers won their second-most games in franchise history this season and entered the NBA playoffs as the Eastern Conference's top seed. And yet, the end of their run still feels like a worst-case scenario.
