Cavs' Donovan Mitchell Matches Michael Jordan's NBA Feat
Donovan Mitchell confidently donned a throwback Cleveland Cavaliers jersey on Wednesday night, delivering an outstanding performance reminiscent of Michael Jordan’s historic achievements.
Mitchell's Historic Game
Mitchell accomplished a rare feat that, according to OptaStats, has only been done once before: by Michael Jordan on January 28, 1989. Against the Philadelphia 76ers, Mitchell showcased his excellence by:
- Scoring 46 points
- Making 15 of 21 field goal attempts
- Hitting 6 of 11 three-pointers
- Shooting a perfect 10-for-10 from the free-throw line
- Grabbing 4 rebounds
- Distributing 8 assists
- Recording 1 steal
Team Contributions and Outcome
Supporting Mitchell, Jarrett Allen scored 24 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, while Evan Mobley contributed 23 points. Together, the two big men blocked five shots (Allen with 3 blocks, Mobley with 2).
Mitchell played 35 minutes, finishing with a plus-17 rating, helping the Cavaliers secure an 11-point victory.
"Mitchell remains the leader of this Cleveland team, even as Mobley learns how to take control more often."
Additional Note
Steph Curry recently surpassed Kobe Bryant and is approaching one of Michael Jordan’s NBA records.
Summary: Donovan Mitchell’s stellar performance ties a rare NBA milestone last achieved by Michael Jordan, underscoring his role as Cleveland’s key player.
