It appears that Donovan Mitchell is an important part of Jazz basketball.
In his much awaited return, Donovan Mitchell provided life and energy to the Utah Jazz. Oh and lots of points and assists and other things too. Behind Donovan Mitchell and Rudy Gobert the Jazz won with relative ease, 141-129?
Yes, you read that right. The Jazz scored 141 points tonight and it didn’t seem all that hard. In the first half Mitchell came out and took it to Dillon Brooks hitting shots and getting him in immediate foul trouble.
Having Mitchell on the floor does so much more than get inferior defenders in foul trouble, though.
