Donovan Mitchell Slams Cavaliers' Game 1 Choke

Donovan Mitchell slammed the Cavaliers' Game 1 choke, saying 'we f-king blew it' after Tuesday's 115-104 overtime loss to the Knicks.

The Cavaliers had a 22-point lead in the fourth quarter at Madison Square Garden.

But Knicks guard Jalen Brunson scored 17 of his game-high 38 points as New York went on a 44-11 run over the final 12:45 of the game, including overtime.

Donovan Mitchell went scoreless in that span, missing all five of his shots.

The loss was a bad one, but Mitchell explained that the Cavaliers will analyze the film and look forward to Game 2 on Thursday in New York.

He tallied 29 points in the game, but it wasn't enough to secure the win.

Cavs center Evan Mobley logged 15 points and 14 rebounds, while James Harden scored 15 points, but was just 1-for-8 on 3-pointers and had six turnovers.

The Cavaliers will look to bounce back in Game 2, and Mitchell is already focused on the next game.

He said the team can't let the loss kill their momentum, and they will make adjustments and go from there.

The Cavaliers had been on a roll, with a third straight road win this postseason within their grasp.

But the late Knicks surge changed everything, and now the Cavaliers must regroup and refocus.

Donovan Mitchell's blunt assessment of the game was clear: 'we f-king blew it'.

The Cavaliers will look to prove him wrong in Game 2.
