NBA Players React To Donovan Mitchell’s 71-Point Performance
In last night’s game between the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Chicago Bulls, Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell scored a career-high 71 points in what was one of the greatest individual performances in NBA history.
His performance further cemented Mitchell’s place as one of the top players in the league.
Spida He made 22 of his 34 field goal attempts, including 7 of 15 from three-point range and 20 for 25 from the free throw line. In addition to his scoring, Mitchell also had eigh rebounds and 11 assists.
Mitchell dominated the game from start to finish, scoring at will against the Bulls’ defense. His scoring outburst was reminiscent of some of the great scoring performances in NBA history, such as Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point game or Kobe Bryant’s 81-point game.
After this historic performance, other NBA players reacted accordingly to Mitchell’s 71.
I’m going to get it out of the way and point out that Donovan Mitchell and Robin Lopez combined for 72 tonight. Hashtag Historic Game.
