Donovan Mitchell wasn’t there for any haters last night. After a classic second-half takeover performance, Mitchell iced the game with a midrange jumper that put the Jazz up four with 22 seconds left. Mitchell appeared to have words for Pistons Andre Drummond, saying “This is your fault, you did this”. But it was clarified afterwards who those words were actually intended for.
According to Mitchell in a post-game interview, there was a heckling fan in the corner that was in his ear all night long. Mitchell said that there was something specific that “really pissed him off” (he claims to not remember what it was), and he credited that moment to what got him going in the second half.
