On May 5, the Cavaliers lost to the Pacers and fell behind 0-1 in the second round. From the beginning of the game, the Cavaliers were completely suppressed by Inn City, and they took a brief overtake in the third quarter, and were further pulled to more than 10 points in the final quarter. Mitchell's personal performance in this game was already pretty good, but unfortunately he didn't get a three-pointer. The most important point is that the team's overall defense was too poor. In the final quarter, he was defeated by the Pacers' three-pointers. In the end, Mitchell scored 33 points, 5 rebounds and 4 assists.

Garland has been resting since her toe injury on April 24. In other words, the Cavaliers still swept the Heat without Garland. Garland continued to be injured in this game, and Mitchell continued to play No. 1 position. But Mitchell's offense was not very smooth. He scored 9 points in the first quarter but had 0 assists, and the team was also 11 points behind. Mitchell scored 15 points and 2 assists in the first half, and the Cavaliers continued to fall behind.

Mitchell broke out in the third quarter. He made 3 of 8 and 6 of 8 free throws in a single quarter, scoring 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists and 1 steal. He faced the two's attacks and completed a one-arm dunk. His ball also narrowed the gap of 12 points to 1 point. After Carlisle was suspended, Mitchell came up to help the Cavaliers overtake. Mitchell had already scored 27 points in the third quarter.

Mitchell has sparked heated discussion after the explosion in a single quarter: 1. People are really trying to let me know that Mitchell is actually better than Edwards;

2. The crazy Mitchell performed well in the spotlight, and he put in all his efforts to help the team;

3. Trading Mitchell is a good idea, sorry, we want him;

Mitchell made 10 of 24 minutes in three quarters, 10 of 3-pointers, scored 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal and 0 turnovers, with a 10% three-point shooting percentage, and his outside feel has not been opened.

The Cavaliers had already taken the lead when Mitchell was resting. Unexpectedly, after Mitchell came back, the defense collapsed. Nembhard scored two three-pointers, Halliburton scored one three-pointer, and Totel scored one three-pointer and directly opened the gap. During this period, Mitchell missed two breakthroughs, and the Pacers had 2 and a half points left to lead and 10 points. Mitchell finally found an opportunity to dunk one. In fact, there was no suspense in the game.

Mitchell made 34 minutes in the whole game, made 13 of 30, 11 of 3 points, 6 of 9 free throws, scored 33 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal, with a shooting percentage of 43.3%, a three-point shooting percentage of 9.09%, plus or negative value -19.
