The Cleveland Cavs wanted to keep momentum rolling, and Donovan Mitchell made sure it stayed that way.

It came early in the first quarter. It felt effortless and loud.
The sequence was built on timing and belief. Mitchell saw space. Mobley sprinted. The ball traveled almost the length of the floor. Then Mobley rose, caught, and slammed. Benches reacted before the dunk fell through. The arena fed off it. A highlight and a message in the same breath.
