The Triple Team: Donovan Mitchell and Jazz offense run into a wall in Game 5, negating another excellent defensive performance

Before Game 3, I asked Quin Snyder about what he wanted to see from Donovan Mitchell offensively.

“His ability to attack, to be definitive. Then, to not just have his head down," Snyder said then. "It’s not a question of just ‘run through a wall.’ It’s running with force, but then avoiding the wall, so to speak. That’s another way to run through it.”

Time and time again tonight, Mitchell ran into the wall. Frustrated by running into it, he ran into it harder.

Take this play. He gets the switch he wants here, attacking James Harden.
