Monday rich in colors and emotions for Donovan Mitchell. First, the Cleveland guard was voted player of the week. Then he found the Jazz on the floors. For the first time, he faced his former team.
He didn’t seem unsettled by the event – the game was in Cleveland – as he scored 23 points at 8/12 on shot in just 23 minutes. The Cavaliers did not go into details and easily won the game.
“We did a lot of good things collectively”, he explains to ESPN. “We shot very well, that’s obvious, but defensively, we were very good in limiting this very good team to less than 100 points. Personally, it was strange, but pleasant. »
The victory was so easy to obtain that Donovan Mitchell did not need to play the last quarter. “It’s always nice to have some rest. I’m not that old, but it’s always good to cut down on playing time.”
It will logically be stronger in terms of emotions when the All-Star goes to Utah on January 10. But this beautiful evening perfectly symbolizes Donovan Mitchell’s season in Cleveland, where he is like a fish in water and is having his best season in his career.
” I’m comfortable “, he smiled. “I feel like I’ve been part of this group for a long time. The city, the fans, the team, everyone welcomed me with open arms. The adaptation was perfect. »
