Cavs’ Donovan Mitchell scores 71 points, as Bulls lose in overtime

CLEVELAND – There’s a good chance that as this is being read, Donovan Mitchell has just scored another basket against the Bulls.

Considering he finished with 71 – the most an individual player had ever dropped on the franchise – it wouldn’t be far-fetched.

The sting in the Bulls locker room after blowing the 21-point first-half lead to lose 133-130 in overtime to the Cavaliers?

It should have never reached that extra session.

With 4.1 seconds left and Cleveland down three, Mitchell made his first free throw, leaving him with no choice but to purposely miss the second.
