Former Vol Tobias Harris by the numbers in the Pistons-Cavaliers Game 4.

In a pivotal Game 4 of the NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, the Cleveland Cavaliers (No. 4 seed) took down the Detroit Pistons (No. 1 seed) with a 112-103 victory on Monday at Rocket Arena. The win tied the series at 2-2, setting the stage for a thrilling Game 5.

Former Tennessee Volunteer Tobias Harris was a key contributor for the Pistons, logging 36 minutes on the court. The veteran forward put up a solid all-around stat line: 16 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, 2 steals, and 1 block. While his shooting wasn't red-hot—hitting 6-of-17 from the field and 2-of-5 from beyond the arc—he was perfect from the free-throw line, sinking both attempts.

Unfortunately, fellow former Vol Chaz Lanier didn't see action in Game 4 due to a coach's decision, leaving Harris to carry the Tennessee flag alone in this matchup.

The series now shifts back to Detroit for a crucial Game 5 on Wednesday at Little Caesars Arena. Tip-off is set for 8 p.m. EDT, and you can catch all the action on ESPN. With the series tied, every possession counts.

Harris, who played for Tennessee under head coach Bruce Pearl during the 2010-11 season, averaged an impressive 15.3 points and 7.3 assists per game in his lone year as a Vol. His strong college career earned him a first-round pick (No. 19 overall) in the 2011 NBA draft by the Charlotte Bobcats.

As the Pistons look to regain home-court advantage, Harris's experience and versatility will be crucial. Whether you're gearing up for Game 5 or just showing support for your favorite former Vol, make sure you're ready in style.
