Summary
Ken and Lima break down why Mitchell's 26-point, 8-assist Game 7 was more impressive than the box score shows, calling it a true superstar performance where he made the right play every single time, fed the bigs, and ratcheted up his defense. Harden gets fair treatment too as a guy who did exactly what you need from him, staying out of the way, facilitating, and finishing plus-31 without being the focal point. Lima saves his biggest point for 7 o'clock, hinting that Kenny Atkinson may have gotten himself in trouble trying to tell a nice story in the postgame.
