Isaiah Mobley nails game-winner to send Cleveland to Summer League title game
Isaiah Mobley sent the Cleveland Cavaliers to the 2023 NBA Summer League championship Sunday evening, nailing a turnaround jumper to reach the Elam ending target score of 101.
For those who are unaware, the Elam ending is an alternate overtime ending implemented recently by the G-League for overtime situations. The first team to reach the target score wins, in this case 101.
More of a visual learner? Here’s how Mobley sent the Cavs to the title game:

Mobley is entering his 2nd year in the NBA after being drafted late in the 2nd round of the 2022 NBA Draft. He played sparingly for Cleveland last season, averaging just under 3 points per game.
And he was incredible Sunday, not just in the final minutes. Mobley led all Cavs scorers with 23, 7 rebounds and 5 assists on 9-15 shooting.
The Cavs will face either Utah or Houston in the title game on Monday.
