Poor offensive choices and insufficient organizational ability, are the shortcomings of the Cavaliers core backcourt exposed?

In a previous NBA Eastern Conference semifinals, the Indiana Pacers defeated the top regular season Eastern Conference team at home 121-112. After this game, the Pacers took the lead and temporarily led their opponents 1-0 in this round of the series, and they also regained their home advantage through this game.

In this game, the Cavaliers' backcourt player Donovan Mitchell actually performed very badly. Mitchell scored 33 minutes and 40 seconds in the game, made 13 of 30 shots, 11 from outside the three-point line, and 6 of 9 free throws, and scored the highest score of 33 points plus 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 1 steal. He also had 2 fouls, and the plus and negative value was lower than the lowest number of the game -19. Mitchell got a lot of opportunities to play on the offensive end, but his offensive efficiency is actually very average, and his feel outside the three-point line is even more outrageous. Mitchell also has obvious problems in offensive choices, and he has not shown enough passing and organizational skills when holding a large amount of ball rights. Not only that, Mitchell's performance on the defensive end was a mess and could not limit the opponent's outside shooting. It seems that Mitchell scored the highest score in the game, but the plus or negative value of -19 can also show that the team's situation is not ideal when he is on the court, which is also an important factor in the team's failure.

In the NBA regular season this season, Mitchell played a total of 71 games in 82 games, averaging 31.4 minutes per game, averaging 24 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5 assists, 1.3 steals and 0.2 blocks, and 2.1 turnovers and 2 fouls. His shooting percentage was 44.3%, three-point shooting percentage was 36.8%, and free throw shooting percentage was 82.3%. In the playoffs, Mitchell averaged 31.4 minutes in the first five games, with averaging 25.6 points, 3.6 rebounds, 4 assists and 1.4 steals, 1.2 turnovers and 1.6 fouls, shooting percentage of 46.5%, three-point shooting percentage of 37%, and free throw shooting percentage of 70.4%.

Mitchell's performance in the first few games of the series was quite stable. He showed good scoring ability and his feel outside the three-point line was relatively reliable. However, Darius Garland helped Mitchell complete the organization and tandem in this game. In this game, with Garland absent, it seems that Mitchell's problems in leading the team were also reflected. Mitchell is a good scorer, but his performance in this game is really a bit too high. I wonder if Mitchell will adjust his playing style in the next game of the series, and whether he can play more reasonably?
