And now the revenge.
Five days ago the Cubs lost in Boston and tonight they won over them in overtime, and they also have the following statistic to their credit: they are currently 0:7 in games in which they went into overtime.
In fact, the Cubs trailed by 14 heading into the final quarter, but Lamar Stevens changed the game after coming off the bench.
Donovan Mitchell equalized five seconds to the end of legal time and made sure to close the aforementioned story in overtime.
Mitchell finished with 40 points and 11 rebounds, Darius Garland with 17 and 12 assists and Evan Mobley with 25 and 17 rebounds.
For Boston without Jayson Tatum, Jaylen Brown finished with 32 points, 13 rebounds and 9 assists, Malcolm Brogdon added 24.
