Donovan Mitchell’s first-round contest in the NBA 2K tournament against Rui Hachimura went down the wire. He chose Brooklyn Nets to face his first opponent in the tournament. Hachimura, meanwhile, was playing with the Los Angeles Lakers. When Mitchell’s Nets were trailing by three points, he passed the ball to Spencer Dinwiddie.
While Dinwiddie has good numbers in clutch time in the NBA, his virtual counterpart couldn’t hand a win to Mitchell.
