Why Is Donovan Deferring to Harden Late in Games?
from The Ken Carman Show with Anthony Lima
Lima and Daryl can't wrap their heads around Donovan Mitchell handing the ball to 36-year-old James Harden in crunch time after a virtuoso offensive performance — and question whether that's a sustainable recipe. Both agree the Cavs got lucky in Game 3, with Harden's final two minutes masking a team that still lost the possession and rebounding battle. Until Mitchell and Mobley start finishing games, the Cavs' playoff ceiling remains the same as it's been for years.
