“He knew once he came out it would stiffen up on him, make it difficult for him to come back in. He wanted to stay on the floor,” Bickerstaff said. “Just trying to find ways to make plays.”īickerstaff said Mitchell will continue to be evaluated. “There was no coming out of the game for me,” Mitchell said. Mitchell told reporters afterward that he felt pain in his groin similar to what kept him out for a total of six games in January and February. It was Mitchell’s seventh 40-point game this season. But his teammates managed just seven points, while shooting 3 of 11 from the field. He stayed in the game when play resumed, scoring Cleveland’s next 10 points and 19 in the quarter. Mitchell briefly remained on the floor after the Cavs called a timeout, but he was able to walk to the bench. While driving into the lane, he lost his footing and tumbled awkwardly to the court, leading to a layup on the other end by Tatum. Mitchell’s scary moment came with under six minutes left in the third quarter. “Tatum’s a heck of a player, Brown’s a heck of a player that knows how to make you pay,” Cavaliers coach J.B. Darius Garland added 29 points and nine assists for the Cavaliers. Cleveland dropped to 13-19 on the road this season and 19-12 against teams above.
