Ken and Lima try to make sense of where this series stands after the Cavs' Game 4 win, and the honest answer is that neither of them feel comfortable saying Cleveland is back in control despite the blowout performance. Ken points out that what Mitchell did in the second half is something Cade Cunningham simply cannot replicate at this stage of his career, and that the Cavs' overall talent edge finally showed up on the same night for all four stars. But the elephant in the room heading into Game 5 in Detroit is officiating — JB Bickerstaff went public with his complaints about the whistle after Game 4, and Ken and Lima both acknowledge the refs have been wildly inconsistent throughout the series. The bottom line: Cleveland still hasn't won a road game, and until they do, calling them "back in control" is a tough sell.
