Tonight, Donovan Mitchell put together one of his best performances in a Cleveland Cavaliers uniform — all because an opponent on NBA 2K told him he was ‘washed up’ just hours before the game. “This kid pissed me off today,” Mitchell said after the game. “I was playing 2K for like two hours… and he […]
