Orlando • There was less than a second showing on the clock when the final shot was taken. Donovan Mitchell watched it from the opposite side of the court, his arms raised. Who could say how much of the past year raced through his mind as the ball arc toward the rim, spin around the cylinder and, agonizingly, pop back out.
Mitchell felt the weight of it all, though, as he collapsed to the floor, the Utah Jazz’s 2019-20 season finally finished.
“I didn’t really know what else to do,” Mitchell said after his team’s 80-78 Game 7 loss to the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday night.
