Thunder head coach Mark Daigneault acknowledges the great job he did over the offseason to improve his body, but he doesn’t quite see Mitchell’s breakout as a leap. “I think if you really dig into how he played last season, it’s not,” Daigneault told R.org in his pregame press conference in Cleveland. “It would be in context. It looks like a jump optically, but he was kinda on this trajectory last year."

“You always want to be aggressive on both ends, play your way, but you’ve got to know who you’re on the court with, and you’ve also got to know what’s best for the team,” Mitchell said. “I think that’s really important. I’m a winning player. I want to make plays to win the game. So I think it’s really finding that fine line of being aggressive but then also knowing where your guys are, what situation we’re in.”

The Pistons faced a shell of the defending champion Oklahoma City Thunder on Wednesday night in a possible NBA Finals preview. By the time it ended, with East-leading Detroit winning 124-116, the Thunder were without their top six scorers. "We obviously had the wind in our faces a little out there tonight," Thunder coach Mark Daigneault said. "I thought it was a really good effort by the guys who played to gut that one out." Oklahoma City started the game without its four leading scorers -- Shai Gilgeous-Alexander (abdomen), Jalen Williams (hamstring), Ajay Mitchell (abdomen) and Chet Holmgren (back) -- and sixth-leading scorer Isaiah Hartenstein (calf).
