The Cavaliers had a season to remember, winning 64 games and establishing themselves as one of the best defensive teams in the NBA. With the ease with which they defeated teams, Mitchell felt they were in for something special. “That was my plan: all right, cool, 60 games, we’re on these win streaks, all right cool. I’m not saying we took anything for granted by any means, but it just felt like this was that time. I think everybody can agree with that,” the All-Star guard said.
