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
