Offensive struggles continue
Mitchell provided 19 points (7-17 FG, 3-5 3Pt, 2-2 FT), five rebounds, three assists, one block and one steal across 31 minutes during Wednesday's 125-120 win over the Raptors in Game 5 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Mitchell scored no more than 20 points for the third straight game, as he continues to deal with some inefficiencies on the offensive end. During that three-game span, he has averaged 18.0 points on 35.1 percent shooting from the field, well below his regular season average of 48.3 percent. Cleveland now leads the series 3-2, with Game 6 scheduled for Friday in Toronto.

Poor shooting in Game 4 loss
Mitchell logged 20 points (6-24 FG, 4-12 3Pt, 4-4 FT), six rebounds, three assists and one steal over 37 minutes during Sunday's 93-89 loss to the Raptors in Game 4 of the first round of the Eastern Conference playoffs.
Analysis
Mitchell once again struggled from the field during Sunday's loss, missing 10 of his 12 shot attempts from within the arc and nine of his 13 field-goal attempts in the second half. He averaged 31.0 points a game across the first two games of the series, but that number dropped to 17.5 points across Games 3 and 4, going 13-for-40 (32.5 percent) from the field in that span. The series will shift back to Cleveland for Game 5 on Wednesday.
