Has this run erased D-Mitch's status as a playoff riser? Because he has not been very good outside of three games this playoffs - and one of them wasn't for the whole game given they blew that series opener to the Knicks just a few days ago and no-showed for overtime.

What tonight reminded me of was an old stat about how Donovan Mitchell's turnovers in Utah exceeded his assists to Rudy Gobert i.e. he passes to the opposing team more than his teammate. His lack of playmaking has been a major issue for a couple of years but it's never been more highlighted than this year's postseason.
