Scored 91 points in two games! Mitchell is in a super god match against Jordan, and he is rushing to the miracle of NBA history!

scored 91 points in two games! When Mitchell used his Jordan-style performance to pull the Cavaliers back from the cliff where he was behind 0-2, an NBA historical miracle that had been covered in more than 30 years was waving to him - the player who averaged 40+ games in the last single-round series was the basketball god Jordan! In the NBA playoffs, "Offset wins glory, defense wins championship!", this sentence is always a truth to win the championship! It is under the influence of this concept that in the more intense playoffs, facing the opponent's double-teaming and defense replacement tactics, it is extremely difficult for anyone to score 40+ points in a single game, and the difficulty is far beyond the regular season! So far in the 2024/25 NBA playoffs, only 7 people have scored more than 40 in the game, while the Cavaliers' Mitchell completed twice by himself, and he also won the top two in the single-game scoring list of the playoffs!

The Cavaliers defeated the Pacers 126-104 away today, rewriting the total score of the series to 1-2. Mitchell made 14 of 29 shots, including 5 of 13 three-pointers, scoring 43 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists, and scored 40+ in two consecutive playoff games, becoming the second player in the team history to do this after James. And just in the last game, Mitchell scored 48 points, winning the highest single-game score in the playoffs this season!

So far, Mitchell scored a total of 91 points in two consecutive playoffs. Not only is he the first player in the Cavaliers' history to do this, but in the long history of the NBA playoffs, only 14 players have scored a total of 90+ in two consecutive playoffs.
