The Cavs are testing a bold new closing lineup: Donovan Mitchell at point, Sam Merrill at SG, James Harden at SF, Peyton Watson at PF, and Evan Mobley at center. Built for defense-first versatility with switchable bigs and floor-spacing shooters, this unit aims to unlock offensive lanes while locking down late-game pressure. With Harden’s playmaking and Merrill’s clutch shooting, plus Watson and Mobley’s mobility, it’s a dynamic combo that could be the key under new coach Kenny Atkinson — who’s got flashes of genius despite past missteps. Now it’s time to see if this experimental five can deliver when it matters most.
