Cleveland's dominance in the second quarter proved decisive in a 142–126 road victory over Memphis at FedExForum on April 6, as the Cavaliers outscored the Grizzlies 44–28 in that frame to seize control. E. Mobley and D. Schröder led the charge with 24 and 22 points respectively, while Cleveland's balanced attack generated 36 assists on 58.4% shooting from the field. The Cavaliers also dominated the glass with 48 rebounds and forced 12 steals, holding Memphis to a 47.9% clip despite the Grizzlies' 29 three-pointers made. O. Prosper (24 points) and A. Bal (20 points) paced Memphis, but the hosts struggled defensively, allowing a 136.2 offensive rating while managing just a 121.9 on their end. The final margin of 16 points exceeded the Vegas total line of 231.5, reflecting Cleveland's second-half execution and suffocating perimeter defense. The road win strengthens the Cavaliers' positioning as they approach the playoff stretch.
