While Donovan Mitchell came up short of the 50 points he dropped in Game 6, he was just as impressive in the clinching game on Sunday with 39.
Mitchell scored 201 points for the Cavaliers in this seven-game series. He is only the second player in team history to hit the 200-point mark in a playoff series, with LeBron James being the other.The 50 points Mitchell scored on Friday night was the third time in his career he hit that mark in the playoffs. He had games of 57 and 51 points vs. the Nuggets in the first round of the bubble playoffs in 2020.
Sticking with 17, that’s the number of free throws Mitchell took on Sunday. He made 15 of them. The 17 free throws he attempted were tied for the most he’s had in a game this year between the regular season and the playoffs, equaling the 17 he attempted on a Feb. 12 loss to the 76ers.After struggling at times in last year’s first-round loss to the Knicks, Mitchell stepped up his offense vs. the Magic and finished scoring 28.7 points per game.
