Mitchell is sitting up, but still gathering himself. Looks like a hard hit from Tatum blind-sided him a bit
Donovan will stay in the game to take free throws with the Cavs down 118-113 with 14.2 to play – 9:20 PM

Donovan Mitchell very slow to get up. I’m really surprised they haven’t reviewed this for a Flagrant on Tatum but they haven’t shown a replay in the arena. – 9:19 PM

My position on MVP is that Nikola Jokic wins if he keeps Nikola Jokic’ing and reaches 65 games.
If either of those things don’t happen though, Jayson Tatum is checking all of the boxes. Another sensational all-around game for him. – 9:16 PM

Al Horford stayed with Darius Garland and blocked him to start a break that Jayson Tatum finished with a stepback 3
I thought they’d try Horford’s feet when they could, and Horford has done a great job – 7:51 PM

Garland can’t believe they didn’t call goaltending on Horford as C’s go the other way, Tatum draining a 3 to put BOS up 10. – 7:50 PM

Whew, that Mobley block on Tatum and then dunk on the other end was special. Nice run by the #Cavs here after a really rough start. – 7:28 PM

Mobley starting to beat Boston’s defenders downhill. Laid a big block on Tatum too before Tatum got him back blowing by Jerome. – 7:27 PM

You can really feel the absence of Dean Wade and Isaac Okoro so far. It feels like Tatum and Brown have a mismatch every time someone besides Mobley is on them. – 7:15 PM

More on this storyline
Tatum is averaging a team-high 29.7 points (46.1 percent shooting overall; 38.1 percent from 3), 7.9 rebounds, 5.9 assists and 1.4 steals per game, as well as a plus-minus mark of 10.1 that also leads the team. This is a welcome contrast to his national team experience when league sources say the five-time All-Star didn’t have any truly good days on the court — in practice or games — in his entire time leading up to the gold-medal win over France. -via New York Times / November 19, 2024
