Cleveland Cavs G Donovan Mitchell chats with Jimmy Fallon on talk show

Cleveland Cavs guard Donovan Mitchell didn’t strictly stick to business in a Tuesday, Nov. 10 appearance on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.”Mitchell, who's in New York ahead of the Cavs' game against the Knicks on Wednesday, caught up with Fallon about a plethora of topics during the late-night talk show taping. First up, his marriage to singer Coco Jones this past summer which allowed Mitchell the opportunity to talk about his musical interests, revealing that he played drums in a jazz band while younger and sharing that he dabbles as a DJ.It also gave him the opportunity to show off his new Adidas signature shoe. According to reports, Mitchell recently extended his shoe deal with the athletic apparel company that will take him through his 10th signature shoe with a single company, a feat achieved by modern day legends such as LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Steph Curry.With Fallon being a Knicks fan, of course the subject of the Veterans Day game came up. The Knicks beat the Cavs 109-97 at Rocket Arena, Nov. 7 with Mitchell scoring 37 points.Mitchell blamed that loss on second chance opportunities, which translates to the Knicks hitting the offensive glass. They beat the Cavs 16-10 in that stat. Fallon asked what the team needed to do to stop the Knicks.“Giving a team like that multiple opportunities to score in a possession over and over again is definitely going to be tough,” Mitchell said. “So [Wednesday], guarding well in the half court. Obviously, Jalen [Brunson], eliminating him and making his catches tough. Same thing with [Karl-Anthony Towns]. And then closing possessions and getting on doing what we do.”Given the Cavs 5-6 record restless fans probably would like to see that.The Cavs and Knicks tipoff at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Madison Square Garden.
