In a season where Donovan Mitchell has thrived by balancing scoring with playmaking, helping his teammates grow around him, the Cavs asked him to channel his “Spida” moniker and shoulder the offensive load to keep them close against the Celtics on Tuesday.

Ever since he won the Slam Dunk Contest during his rookie season, Donovan Mitchell has established himself as one of the league's best dunkers -- particularly among smaller guards. He added to his resume on Tuesday night with a potential dunk of the year candidate.

Mitchell drove to the rim, jumped up, and put Celtics forward Kristaps Porziņģis on a poster with a highlight jam. The best part of this play was watching Mitchell's Cavaliers teammates react to the dunk.
