After the game, Cavaliers player Donovan Mitchell spoke to the media about the loss.
Mitchell said, “I don’t want to sound like a lunatic, but it feels amazing. Last year, we started 15-0, sweeping our opponents, and we barely faced any mental challenges, you know what I mean? And now? 8-5? In these 13 games, we’ve experienced 13 different situations. We’ve beaten big, we’ve come back from behind, we’ve led and been overtaken, and we’ve led and been overtaken like tonight. It’s been a variety of situations, and we’ve learned a lot from it. You can’t achieve what you have today if everything is smooth sailing. You need to go through all sorts of situations. In Utah, we were down 19-30 at one point, but we still made the playoffs, you see? So the sky didn’t fall. These are all good tests for us, real battles. Our whole team isn’t worried. Of course, we have some areas to improve, don’t get me wrong, but this is a great learning opportunity for us.”
