Donovan Mitchell just dropped 50 points, including scoring all of the Cavs’ fourth quarter total, in a Game 6 loss.
Cleveland not being able to provide Mitchell the necessary, consistent help offensively is why many believe it’s inevitable he will ask out this summer. pic.twitter.com/MXr3y7SyTV – 9:45 PM

The reality of the situation is Game 7 tips off in less than 40 hours and I don’t know how much Donovan Mitchell can possibly have left in the tank after tonight. – 9:42 PM

Donovan Mitchell on Game 6:
“Perseverance & understanding that it’s going to take a relentless effort…This isn’t going to be something where we get a lead or they get a lead & it’s over with. It’s going to be teams constantly fighting & we’ve got to be prepared for them.” – 12:23 PM
