SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Donovan Mitchell didn’t want to give Dwyane Wade another chance at a comeback victory.
Mitchell scored 21 points and Derrick Favors had 17 to help the Utah Jazz rout the short-handed Miami Heat 111-84 on Wednesday night.
“It started from the tip,” Mitchell said after the Jazz led by as many as 42. “We came out strong and didn’t let up.”
Playing against one of his basketball idols probably for the final time, Mitchell unleashed a variety of moves — the crossovers and misdirection dribbles that have prompted comparisons to a young Wade.
