Donovan Mitchell Makes Brutally Honest Statement After Pacers-Cavs Game

Donovan Mitchell and the Cleveland Cavaliers had an incredible 2024-25 season. However, the team lost to the Indiana Pacers in the second round of the NBA playoffs (in just five games). Following Tuesday's 114-105 loss (at home), Mitchell made a brutally honest statement when he met with the media. Mitchell: "Y'all gonna write us the f**k off man. But will be back. We let the city down, we let each other down but will be back." Mitchell finished Game 5 with 35 points, nine rebounds, one assist, four steals and one block while shooting 8/25 from the field and 4/13 from the three-point range in 38 minutes of playing time. Via ESPN's Kendrick Perkins: "A Donovan Mitchell led team has never been to a Conference Finals. I don’t care how you slice it but this Season for the Cavs is a complete failure" Mitchell finished the regular season with averages of 24.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.0 assists and 1.3 steals per contest while shooting 44.3% from the field and 36.8% from the three-point range in 71 games.
