Donovan Mitchell PUNKS Dillion Brooks after dirty play | Cavs CRUSH Grizzlies in season changing W Feb 03, 2023

Show notes

Dillon Mitchell started it with a cheap shot to the groin of Donovan Mitchell in last night's Cleveland Cavaliers/Memphis Grizzlies game.

The rest of the Cavs finished it.

JB Bickerstaff could not have been more proud of his team following the 128-113 win over Memphis Thursday night.

"We don't have the guys that start shit, but we have guys that don't run from shit," he said.

Mitchell & Brooks were both ejected for their part in the scuffle.

Mitchell didn't hold back afterwards, saying each of the following about the Grizzlies' guard:

"That was a dirty play. That shouldn't be allowed in this league."

"That’s just who he is. I've been busting his ass for years."

"He’s building his own reputation."

"A line has to be drawn."

Jake Trotter of ESPN Cleveland also joins the show to discuss the current state of the Browns.
