The heat may not have much chance in this series, but the franchise may have found something with Davion Mitchell.
The fourth-year point guard has played the best basketball of his career since joining Miami in February as part of the Jimmy Butler deal.
Mitchell is one of the few bright spots for the Heat in a Game 1 loss to the Cavaliers, and head coach Eric Spoelstra appears to be giving him an extra run in this series.
Do you think the heat will bounce off on Wednesday nights?
