The Celtics ended up winning the game, 117-115.
Mitchell finished with 18 points, seven rebounds and eight assists.

That could be good judgment, and it's fair every now and then for a star player to get a night off from having to answer questions.
But it's also telling for Mitchell to sit off to the side and not share his piece.
