Donovan Mitchell: Cavaliers aren’t perfect, but keep responding and finding ways to win

The largest lead for either team was seven up until a minute to go in this one what were some of the hurdles that you guys had to overcome to win this thing uh man first of all you got to give them credit they know they don’t

Stop fighting you know I I said with the with their record you know to continue to have that fight every night it shows respect um but for me and for us you know I think the biggest thing is just continue to play through it we didn’t come out properly you know the first

Half we kind of came out a little lack of days ago but for us it’s all about how you respond it’s not going to be perfect every night but continuously finding ways to you know imp yourself in the game you know and I think we did a

Great job of that ton know I got a spot like the fans in the building right now who are currently chanting let’s go every time we come to DC is like that sh I don’t know what it is every time you come to DC it’s always love so uh we

Appreciate it’s dope another 40 ball for you to go along with the rebounds the assists what aspects of your game do you feel like you’re leaning into differently every night I’m just making the simple plays I think the one thing I’m really mad at is the three turnovers

I had to start the game um you know I think those are plays that you know for me whether it’s the long pass to Dean the pass to that should be made you know those are game changers you know they come down and score so for me just

Trying to find ways to continue to be a playmaker um you know obviously I know how to score but continue to get my teammates involved uh setting the tone you know I’m you know I made some passes tonight the shots didn’t fall but tell them guys to keep shooting you know at

The end of the day and keep going from there so um that’s what I’m trying to do Evan Mobley with 22 couple of Threes Spotlight the level that he is playing at right now since his return He looks comfortable I think that’s the biggest thing and I think like I said after San

Antonio like for him mentally to have that game um after a knee surgery I think is one thing that you know for him kind of unlocks you in a different way you know what I mean so he’s playing well continuing know he’s fitting in seamlessly you know Contin to get better

And better you know and I think him and Ja it’s it’s a blessing to have those two down there I’ll tell you that so um it’s great to see him back out here with us first and foremost but also to perform at the level he is the streak

Continues but you guys win in different ways what’s the most sustainable thing about how you’re playing right now I think the biggest thing is our defense you know but you know like I said it wasn’t our best tonight but we found ways and got stops we needed you know

Sometimes you know it’s going to be ugly you know and we got another one tomorrow against a tough team so we got to go out there be ready
