"A Donovan Mitchell led team has never been to a Conference Finals," Perkins wrote on X following Cleveland's elimination from the postseason. "I don’t care how you slice it, but this season for the Cavs is a complete failure."

Donovan Mitchell has been relentless in attacking the rim so far in the Cavs semifinal series versus the Indiana Pacers. Heading into Game 4, Mitchell is averaging just over 41 points per game, but the Pacers lead the series 2-1 after winning the first two games in Cleveland while the Cavs took the first game in Indianapolis Friday night.
