In the Game 5 loss to the Cavaliers, Jamal Shead delivered a solid performance with 18 points, seven assists, and two steals, marking a playoff career-high in both points and assists. After struggling offensively in the previous three games, Shead’s resurgence was crucial for his team, especially in light of Brandon Ingram’s second-quarter exit due to a heel issue. Shead’s playing time surged to 34 minutes, and he may see extended minutes again in Game 6 if Ingram remains sidelined.
