Donovan Mitchell has been to the NBA playoffs in each of his 8 seasons, but he has yet to get past the second round. "That's why I wake up every day."

INDEPENDENCE, Ohio — “It’s about being desperate.” Donovan Mitchell talked about the Cavs’ mental approach to the playoffs. After sweeping Miami, the Cavs are facing Indiana in the second round in a best-of-seven series. It opens Sunday at Rocket Arena.

Garland averaged 24 points, 2.5 rebounds and 7 assists in his two games against Miami. He shot the ball at a 51.6% clip from the field and an impressive 41.2% from 3-point range. The Cavaliers will need him fit and healthy if they’re going to overcome an impressive Pacers team.
