Just when it mattered the most, Mitchell flipped the switch after a horrendous four-point first half, ending the Monday night with 43 big points in 13-of-26 shooting.
He exploded for 21 points in the third quarter alone, hitting shot after shot and overwhelming Detroit with his sudden offensive aggressiveness.
He tied both LeBron James and Kyrie Irving in this scoring outburst for a single period.
Sleepy Floyd established the record in 1987, scoring 39 points for the Golden State Warriors.
As the series is now tied at two games apiece, Mitchell and the Cavs will look to steal Game 5 in Detroit to be one more win away from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.
