Donovan Mitchell sure looked comfortable in his throwback Cleveland Cavaliers<\/a> jersey on Wednesday night.<\/p>\n

He was so good that he did something not done in NBA history since Michael Jordan.<\/p>\n

Here are the four boxes Mitchell checked:<\/p>\n

45-plus points8-plus assists70% FG shooting10-plus FT without a miss<\/p>\n

That’s only been done once before, according to OptaStats<\/a>: by Michael Jordan on Jan. 26, 1985.<\/p>\n

Taking on the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>, Mitchell was absolutely brilliant.<\/p>\n

He dropped 46 points, making 15-of-21 shots from the floor, including 6-for-11 from 3. He was 10-for-10 from the line, grabbed four rebounds, dished out eight assists and nabbed a steal.<\/p>\n

The Cavs won, 132-121.<\/p>\n

Mitchell wasn’t without help. Jarrett Allen had 24 points and 10 rebounds, and Evan Mobley added 23 points. The pair of bigs combined for five blocks (3 for Allen, 2 for Mobley).<\/p>\n

But this was Mitchell’s night. He played 35 minutes to score the 46 points, and he was a plus-17 in a game the Cavs won by 11.<\/p>\n

Mitchell remains the leader of this Cleveland team, even as Mobley learns how to take control more often.<\/p>\n

And on a night when Mitchell has it going like this, it’s an absolutely incredible sight to behold.<\/p>\n
