Donovan Mitchell joins Leberron James in the history of Cavaliers after another show of the commission
The Cleveland Cavaliers was not eliminated on Friday night, regardless of the result of the 3rd game of the second round series with Indiana Beesers, but it was “thousands of percent” a game that you should win in the eyes of the stars Donovan Mitchell.
Mitchell performed a performance worthy of risk, poured 43 points and added nine rebound balls and five decisive passes to transport Cavaliers for a comfortable victory 126-104. The series is now 2-1 in favor of Pacers, which is a more controlled deficit from 3-0 in the first seeded at the eastern conference, which shot down the first two games at home in an amazing way.
“For me and my mind, I have not necessarily said [it was a must-win game] For everyone. Mitchell said: “I kept myself myself. Because if understanding if I landed 3-0, this is difficult. So yes, this was winning.
Mitchell, who won 48 points in the collapse of the Cavaliers 2 game, joined Liberation James on Friday as the only players in the history of Cavaliers who scored consecutive games of 40 points in the qualifiers. He also joined Jayson Tatum, Kevin Durant and Michael Jordan as the only players in the past fifty years with at least 90 points and 25 free rumors in a period of two matches in the qualifiers.
It took a few minutes so that Mitchell could finally reach the painting, which he did on the 3 Index in the middle of the first quarter, and it was not until the second that he really got. He scored 11 points in the frame, as it was identical to the group of the Pacers team as one team (13), and Cavaliers helped build 21 points heading at the end of the first half.
In the second half, Mitchell coincided with him after running from Paisers, who tried with the validity of returning to the game but they were unable to pull another amazing return. It is worth noting that after the Pacers team reduced the deficit to 11 early in the fourth quarter, Mitchell responded either by scoring or helping at 16 points in a row of Cavaliers to push the lead to 24 and finish the game mainly.
CAVS is now firmly firmly to this series, but they know they have a lot of work to do it. Loss in Sunday 4 game and returned in a dangerous hole.
“It is 2-1, but we did not do anything,” Mitchell said. “We won one match. We must do it again. This was my message. We are not celebrating, we are not smiling. We came here to take two games, and we did the same. The next game will be the most difficult game in the series.”
