Head coach Kenny Atkinson praised Mitchell’s leadership, pointing not just to the scoring, but to the way he dictated the game when everything tightened in the fourth quarter. According to Atkinson, Mitchell set the tone early, defended with urgency and made sure his teammates stayed locked into the moment when momentum shifted.

Now, after finally breaking through, Cleveland finds itself among the final four in the conference, with confidence at its highest point in years.
The Pistons pushed them to the limit, forcing a Game 7 showdown, but Cleveland’s experience and late-game execution proved decisive. Around the league, this result is already reshaping expectations, with analysts now viewing the Cavaliers as legitimate contenders rather than underdogs.
As the Eastern Conference Finals approach, all eyes will remain on Mitchell, the leader who turned pressure into performance when it mattered most.
