Donovan Mitchell is enjoying reaching 60 wins before April 1st😊
Before anyone complains, the regular season is a 6 month grueling process. You need to enjoy the small milestones along the way. Such is the case with life.

The Cavaliers are one of the NBA’s powerhouses this season, but the Clippers showed plenty of fight against the Eastern Conference’s top team on Sunday. Both the Clippers and Cavaliers should be well-equipped for a deep playoff run.
The Cavaliers head into a huge matchup against the New York Knicks for their next outing, while the Clippers gear up to face the Orlando Magic.
