#Cavs Donovan Mitchell keeps making history. Before Thursday, only one Cavalier was ever named Eastern Conference Player of the Month: LeBron James.

Suggested this on our last pod, but Devin Booker starting the 4th quarter is a good wrinkle. Unfortunately, Nets still went on an 8-1 run after Phoenix got up by 20 early in the 4th. Gotta stop this from snowballing again – 10:39 PM
