This win extends the Cavaliers' impressive streak to six consecutive Game 7 victories.

The Cavaliers' offensive performance was a comprehensive team effort. Donovan Mitchell led the charge with an impressive 26 points, complemented by eight assists and seven rebounds. Jarrett Allen contributed significantly with 23 points, while Evan Mobley added 21 points. A crucial boost came from the bench as Sam Merrill also poured in 23 points.

Daniss Jenkins was the Pistons' leading scorer with 17 points.
