In a Game 6 loss, #Cavs Donovan Mitchell tried to do it all. But on Sunday, he drove to the basket late in the game and had a layup that he passed up for a Darius Garland 3.
He knew Garland *needed* that moment. He knew it was about something bigger.

Late in 4th quarter, in the midst of another epic performance, #Cavs Donovan Mitchell drove to the basket and had a chance for a layup. Instead, he passed it to Darius Garland. It was a purposeful decision.
Because every superhero needs a sidekick.

Donovan Mitchell showed real leadership out there. Team looked like they were going to fold, then he gave them ONE good quarter that changed everything.
Only shot 4/18 outside 3rd quarter. But he outscored Magic by himself in 3rd and his squad picked him up in the 4th quarter. – 4:04 PM

Jared Weiss: Jaylen Brown: “Obviously, last year, I probably had one of my worst series in the playoffs just in general and that has just carried on from there. Facing them in the first round this year, I still feel like I could have played a lot better and a lot more relaxed. Maybe put a little bit more attention on myself than I needed to. But still came out and was able to find ways to be aggressive and help my team win. Mashallah is full circle. Now we’re just looking forward to the next.” -via Twitter @JaredWeissNBA / May 2, 2024
