HOUSTON — Attending an Astros baseball game on Monday was cool for Donovan Mitchell, who’s still a kid, despite his maturity. Seeing himself featured on Kobe Bryant’s “Details,” caused him to watch it twice. His social media back-and-forth with fellow Rookie of the Year candidate Ben Simmons he said, “is fun.”
But winning road games in the playoffs?
That — for both him and his teammates — is rafting the rapids.
There were wins in Oklahoma City in the first round, but that was then. Wednesday presented a 116-108 win in Houston. Things are coming fast.
