Donovan Mitchell

Donovan Mitchell has lacked his customary explosiveness and not looked like himself through three games of the Eastern Conference finals. Cleveland is on the brink of elimination. The Cavs couldn't match New York's force, firepower or balance despite being on their home floor and lost Game 3 to the Knicks 121-108 on Saturday night to fall into a perilous postseason hole in the best-of-seven series.

The Knicks look to apply more pressure to Cleveland’s neck, while Mitchell and The Land hope to avoid a 3-0 hole.

Donovan Mitchell was shown on ESPN's broadcast going back to the locker room during the second quarter of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference finals.

Donovan Mitchell insists he is feeling good. Questions about Mitchell's health persisted after he and his teammates lost Game 2 of the Eastern Conference finals to the New York Knicks on Thursday night.

At the moment, one must search for areas of concern for the Knicks. But there is one glaring issue.
