Donovan Mitchell News: Scores game-high 35 points

Mitchell totaled 35 points (8-25 FG, 4-13 3Pt, 15-21 FT), nine rebounds, one assist, one block and four steals across 38 minutes during Tuesday's 114-105 loss to Indiana in Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals.

Mitchell aggravated a left ankle injury in Game 4 but shook off a questionable tag to suit up Tuesday. He tweaked the ankle again in the third quarter of Game 5 but returned a few minutes later and led a comeback that fell short. Mitchell finished with a game-high 35 points in Cleveland's final outing of the season, and despite scoring at least 30 points in four of the five second-round contests, the superstar guard was unable to get the Cavaliers past the Pacers. After a highly successful regular season ended with the No. 1 seed in the Eastern Conference, Cleveland's postseason will warrant a lot of discussion, both internally and externally.
