Heading into Round 2 of the Eastern Conference playoffs against the Celtics, Cavaliers front-man Donovan Mitchell wants to set the record straight.
“I feel like there’s a rep about us or whatever that we’re inconsistent,” Mitchell said following Cleveland’s 106-94 Game 7 win over the Orlando Magic Sunday night. “At the end of the day, we’re gonna be solid, we’re gonna do our job.”

Mitchell — who has had his best two career seasons since being traded to Cleveland from the Jazz in 2022 — is currently averaging 26 points, five rebounds, and six assists per game while shooting 46.
