They came out and punched first and I felt like it was my job to go out there and respond. And I found myself knocking some threes down and the ball was going in. Some nights it’s not going to be like that; if they’re blitzing me, try to find guys and get guys going. But tonight, it was seeing what looks I had and I was able to get to my spots , and the ball was going in.” Cleveland Cavaliers guard Donovan Mitchell stands on the court in the third quarter against the Orlando Magic. | David Richard-Imagn ImagesMitchell was the primary scorer for the Cavs, but he wasn't completely alone.
