Cleveland Cavaliers two-way big man Isaiah Mobley came through in the clutch for the Cleveland Charge in the NBA G-League and he did so in emphatic fashion. With the Charge down by one with five seconds remaining, Mobley drove down the lane and caught two bodies in the process for the game-winning dunk to lift Cleveland over the Greensboro Swarm, 119-118.
What an insane way to win the game.
Isaiah Mobley, the brother of Cavaliers big man Evan Mobley, finished with 14 points, six rebounds, and three assists. His epic slam was one of his three field goals on the evening, as he finished 3-of-6 from the field and 4-of-6 from the foul line.
Aleem Ford led the way for the Charge with 24 points on 8-of-12 shooting, including 6-of-9 from beyond the arc, in 35 minutes off the bench. Zhaire Smith went 7-of-10 shooting overall and made four of his five three-pointers en route to 22 points.
Jaylen Sims led the way for Greensboro with 26 points, while veterans RJ Hunter and Kent Bazemore both tallied 21 points apiece.
Isaiah Mobley, selected 49th overall by Cleveland in 2022, is currently under a two-way contract for the Cavaliers. He has appeared in three games in the NBA so far this season, which puts his career tally at 15 games in the big league.
Mobley has appeared in seven games for the Charge in the NBA G-League, where he is averaging 20.9 points, 8.1 rebounds, and 3.4 assists on 53.1 percent shooting from the field.
Meanwhile, his brother Evan Mobley, has been saddled with injuries so far this season. He recently just returned on January 29 after missing 22 straight games due to knee surgery.
Despite missing Evan Mobley and All-Star guard Darius Garland, Donovan Mitchell has managed to keep the Cavaliers afloat with a 29-16 record, good for 4th in the Eastern Conference.
