Mitchell totaled 17 points (6-17 FG, 4-9 3Pt, 1-4 FT), five rebounds and 11 assists in 36 minutes during Monday's 117-112 loss to the Thunder.

Mitchell found the majority of his success from beyond the arc, which was a welcome sight after watching him go 3-for-13 from deep over his previous two matchups. He also made an impact as a facilitator, setting a new season high in assists on the way to his first double-double of the season. Despite a strong final line from the star guard, it was Shai Gilgeous-Alexander who played spoiled with a 43-point night to lead Oklahoma City to victory.

Gilgeous-Alexander posted 43 points (14-35 FG, 4-8 3Pt, 11-12 FT), eight assists, three rebounds, two steals and one block across 39 minutes in Monday's 117-112 win over the Cavaliers.

Gilgeous-Alexander wasn't shy about hunting his shot with the Thunder shorthanded. The superstar guard didn't deliver his most efficient performance from two-point range, though he was productive from downtown and the charity stripe en route to a season-high scoring total. He also led the Thunder in assists, dishing out a season-best eight dimes after totaling eight over his previous three games.
