Donovan Mitchell Dunks Over Kristaps Porzingis early in Celtics-Cavs

In a match between the Eastern Conference’s top two teams, Donovan Mitchell was prepared to make a statement early Tuesday.

Nearly five minutes into the competition, Cleveland shared the Cavaliers guard two defenders at the top of the key and attacked the curve. Boston Celtics Center Kristaps Porzingis was waiting to challenge him at the edge, but Mitchell put him on a poster instead.

Mitchell raised to a Tomahawk-Turn over the 7-Foot-2 Center and sent the crowd on the Rocket MortGage Fieldhouse to a madness.

At 40-9 on the way into Tuesday, Cleveland has the top record in the east, while Boston is number two of 35-15. The season series is split on 1-1 with the last matchup of the season 28 February.

Mitchell had nine points in the first quarter. He average 23.7 points, 4.7 assists and 4.3 rebounds this season.
