Mitchell, who scored 17 points in the third quarter, made 15 of 17 free throw attempts and added 9 rebounds and 5 assists. His scintillating performance came on the heels of a 50-point effort in Cleveland’s 103-96 loss in Orlando on Friday. “We can be better,” Mitchell said postgame. “I hate to be that guy. This was a great win, great series, great test for us mentally and physically. But we can – and will have to be – better to beat Boston. No disrespect to Orlando because they are a phenomenal team with a lot of great guys. I feel that this is big for us as a group, but we really don’t have time to celebrate.”
Wendell Carter Jr. scored 13 points and Jalen Suggs had 10 points and 9 rebounds for the fifth-seeded Magic, who mustered just 15 points in the third quarter. Mitchell and Darius Garland each made a three-pointer to increase the Cavaliers’ lead to 88-77 with 5:53 left in the fourth quarter. The Magic trimmed their deficit to 7 before Garland sank a pair of free throws and a short jumper to send Cleveland on its way.
