Donovan Mitchell Struggles as Cavs Face 3-0 Deficit

Donovan Mitchell is battling through a difficult Eastern Conference Finals, with Cleveland now facing a 3-0 series hole. During Game 3, Mitchell briefly visited the locker room but returned to play 38 minutes, recording 23 points (9-21 FG, 3-10 3Pt, 2-6 FT), one rebound, four assists, and three steals in a 121-108 loss. Mitchell has lacked his customary explosiveness throughout the series, and the Cavaliers now face the brink of elimination as he remains the team's primary offensive focus.
