For the second straight season, the Cleveland Cavaliers have failed to advance past the second round of the Eastern Conference Playoffs. And this time around, it's hard to label it as anything other than an abject failure.

Donovan Mitchell missed the second half of the Cleveland Cavaliers 129-109 Game 4 loss to the Indiana Pacers after what the team announced as a left ankle injury. It was a gut punch to what was an embarrassing loss for the top-seeded Cavaliers.

Shortly after the final buzzer, Mitchell was seen having words with Pacers guard Tyrese Haliburton, who went off for 31 points and eight assists to lead Indiana to victory. The two superstars exchanged pleasantries after the game as they commended each other for a hard-fought series.
