The Cleveland Cavaliers were easily beaten by the Oklahoma City Thunder on Thursday night and it felt like Donovan Mitchell didn’t show up for the game. He put up only eight points, two rebounds, and two assists during the 134-114 defeat.

Donovan Mitchell finished with eight measly points on 3 of 15 from the field and 1 of 4 from 3-point range in 21 unproductive minutes.

Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault credited Cavs’ Jarrett Allen for his dominating performance leading Donovan Mitchell and the team in Wednesday’s loss. Following one of the more entertaining games between two small-market teams, a reporter asked Gilgeous-Alexander about its significance.
