How Donovan Mitchell’s trust in his teammates was rewarded during historic Game 7 comeback victory

CLEVELAND, Ohio — Isaac Okoro pulled down an offensive rebound and to🙈ok one dribble before passing to teammate Donovan Mitchell. The star of the gamꦅe, Mitchell attacked Orlando’s interior as Darius Garland shuffled toward the corner, the same corner where he had just a missed a wide-open 3-pointer that would’ve given the Cavs a comfortable double-digit lead around the midway point of the fourth quarter.

With a trio of Magic defenders converging on Mitchell near the rim, he trampolined off the court, hung in the air and had an opening to spin in one of his patented acrobatic layups, the same vari♛ety that helped ignite his 50-point eruption in Game 6.
