The Cavs completed a wild comeback Monday night to pull off an overtime win over the Boston Celtics.
And in doing so, Donovan Mitchell, who scored a game-high 40 points, put together a mini highlight reel in the process.

First, Mitchell drove to the hoop with a spin move and got the shot to drop that gave the Cavs the lead with just 24.7 seconds left in the fourth quarter. It was their first lead since early in the first quarter, as they spent most of the night trailing by double digits.
The game was eventually sent to overtime, the third time in four meetings between these two teams this year in which regulation wasn’t enough.
In overtime, Mitchell continued to get to the rim with ease. This time, though, he threw down a thunerous dunk over Celtics forward Mike Muscala.
The Cavs went on to win 118-114. They’re 7-0 in overtime this season, with three of those wins coming against the Celtics.
