It was a historic night for Donovan Mitchell in Game 1 against the Denver Nuggets when he scored 57 points in a close overtime loss.
Considering that was one of the best performances in playoff history it’s not likely that we see that again, but with Mike Conley still waiting for his chance to join the team, he may need to do something close to that.
The good news is that Denver’s defense hasn’t shown any ability to stop Donovan Mitchell. Time and time again, Mitchell was able to get by his man and finish at the rim.
