The Triple Team: Everyone struggles against the Rockets, while James Harden has a “near-Kirilenko” on the other end

Maybe Donovan Mitchell? I mean, he scored 26 points and had nine assists, that’s pretty good! But he took 24 shots to get there, added five turnovers, and truth be told, the bulk of his impact came as he fought valiantly to bring the Jazz back in a game they were realistically already out of.

It seemed like Mitchell was going a little too fast at the beginning. Like, take this play here:

The Jazz cleverly get into a Mitchell/Rudy Gobert handoff play, and Faried comes over to stop Mitchell. In response, Mitchell jumps in the air.
