Mitchell scored 24 of his 48 points in the fourth quarter. He drilled eight 3-pointers on the evening. And in the process, he passed Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and tied Jayson Tatum on the all-time 45-point game list. Tatum and Mitchell have both had nine such games in their careers now, according to StatMuse.
Mitchell’s heroics saved Cleveland from its latest morale-zapping loss, as it rallied in the fourth quarter for a 130-126 victory.
