Donovan Mitchell called for calm after the harsh collapse of the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first game of the Eastern Finals against the New York Knicks. Despite letting a 22-point lead slip away in the final quarter and falling 115-104 in overtime, the Cleveland star avoided dramatizing the situation. "It's a loss and nothing more. It's not like that loss gives them two or three games," explained Mitchell after the game. "We have an opportunity to come back here in two days and get one back."
The shooting guard finished with 29 points, although he disappeared offensively in the crucial stretch. He did not score in overtime, and his last basket came with more than eight minutes left in the final quarter. Nevertheless, he denied any physical issues and stated that he will review the game footage to understand what happened. "If you let this affect you too much, you won't be ready for Game 2," Mitchell concluded.
