Despite the win, Mitchell expressed concern over the team's slow starts, highlighting a troubling pattern of having to rally from behind, which could be problematic against tougher playoff contenders. The Cavaliers, currently on an 11-game winning streak and holding a 51-10 record, are set to face the Miami Heat next, with Mitchell averaging 24.3 points per game this season. His performance has been consistent, including a season-high 41 points against Boston recently.

As they prepare for their upcoming matchup, the Cavaliers aim to address their slow starts to ensure sustained success.
