Mitchell saved our bacon with 45 points, 12 boards, 6 assists, and 4 steals. An incredible performance especially without Garland, Mobley, and Strus. He hit some huge shots down the stretch when the Nets were making their run. LeVert also had some big shots when we needed them.
I was disappointed in Merrill, who was 2-for-11 on 3's. But he did have the 9 rebounds and he played solid defense. Thompson got himself ejected in a game where we didn't have Mobley - what a dumbass. Niang was a solid 10/4/2 in 16 minutes.
Not happy with allowing Brooklyn to score 42 points in the 4th quarter after holding them to 34 the entire first half, but when Bridges and Cam Thomas get going they're hard to stop.
With three days off hopefully Strus will be ready on Monday. Bottom line is the Cavs beat the Nets at a neutral site with three starters out, so it's a good win.
