The Cleveland Cavaliers have consistently performed at a high level, holding onto the top spot in the Eastern Conference. Donovan Mitchell recently revealed the exact moment he knew this season was going to be something special for the team.

"Unselfish MVP" — that's how one teammate described the six-time All-Star who fueled Cleveland to the East's best record.

Donovan Mitchell scored 30 points and Ty Jerome scored 16 of his 28 points in the fourth quarter as the top-seeded Cleveland Cavaliers pulled away for a 121-100 victory over the visiting Miami Heat in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference first-round series Sunday.
