The Triple Team: Andy Larsen’s analysis of Donovan Mitchell and Ricky Rubio leading the Jazz to a bounceback win over Celtics

After an ugly two-game stretch, the Jazz’s guards bounced back with excellent performances in some difficult circumstances.

We’ll start with Donovan Mitchell, who led the Jazz with 28 points and six assists. As opposed to his performance on Friday, Mitchell always kept his eyes out in order to find his teammates, especially when the defense used more of their resources to stop him. This pass, for example, is a very difficult one, but is absolutely the right play.

After watching the video, a lot of Mitchell’s success was because of the differences between how the Celtics and Sixers guarded him.
