On Friday, Donovan Mitchell scored 42 points for the Cleveland Cavaliers and Jalen Brunson scored 48 points for the victorious New York Knicks in a likely first-round playoff preview between the No. 4 and No. 5 Eastern Conference teams.

“It’s a full circle. I wouldn’t want it to be any different,” Mitchell said after losing to the Cavs. “What kid wouldn’t want to grow up and play against their hometown team in the playoffs? … If it happens, it will be a lot of fun.”
