May 10th In the Eastern Conference semifinals of the NBA playoffs, the Cavaliers beat the Pacers 126-104, and tied 1-2. After the game, Cavaliers coach Atkinson talked about Struce: "He has always been our strong leader." Atkinson also called Struce the Cavaliers' enforcer.

Cavaliers defender Struz performed efficiently and comprehensively. He played 8 of 12 shots in 33 minutes, made 4 of 8 three-pointers, scored 20 points, 7 rebounds, 7 assists and 1 block, plus or negative value +32.

Note: The NHL (North American Hockey League) has an enforcer (executioner) saying that the executor refers to the roles of each team who are specifically responsible for fighting. When the opponent moves too much during the game, or if a teammate is challenged, such players will take the lead in fighting. Sometimes, for tactical needs, such players will provoke the opponent's core players and weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness through "reward".
