In Donovan Mitchell’s homecoming, he put on a show leading the Utah Jazz to a 108-93 win over the New York Knicks.
It’s hard to understate how good Mitchell was in this one. With Mike Conley and Bojan Bogdanovic out, the playmaking and scoring responsibilities were squarely on Mitchell and he was up to the task. Not only did he score a hyper-efficient 36 on 52% shooting from the field and 58% from three (7/12!) he dished out 6 assists and grabbed 8 rebounds. When you consider the Jazz were playing newly acquired Nickeil Alexander-Walker and Juancho Hernangomez in the starting lineup, that’s some superstar-level play.
