The Boston Celtics went to Cleveland to take on Donovan Mitchell and the first-place Cavaliers Tuesday night. Mitchell got to work early by entering his name into the ring for the best dunk of the year.

Donovan Mitchell just threw down one of the biggest dunks in years for the Cavs during Tuesday night's game against the Celtics.

Ever since he won the Slam Dunk Contest during his rookie season, Donovan Mitchell has established himself as one of the league's best dunkers -- particularly among smaller guards. He added to his resume on Tuesday night with a potential dunk of the year candidate.
