NBA Legends React To Donovan Mitchells HISTORIC 39-Point Half vs Pistons Cavs Tie Series 2-2

NBA legends Lindsey Hunter and Tim Hardaway Sr. are back on The Crossover Podcast breaking down one of the wildest nights of the NBA Playoffs. The main topic: Donovan Mitchell’s unbelievable Game 4 explosion against the Detroit Pistons. After scoring only 4 points in the first half, Mitchell erupted for 39 second-half points, tying Sleepy Floyd’s legendary NBA playoff record and leading the Cleveland Cavaliers to a 112-103 win to tie the Eastern Conference Semifinals series at 2-2. The crew reacts to Mitchell turning into a human flamethrower, Cleveland’s massive 23-0 second-half run, Cade Cunningham’s Game 4 struggles, Jalen Duren being held under double digits again, and whether the Detroit Pistons let the Cavs gain too much momentum heading into Game 5.
