Make it seven straight wins for the Utah Jazz after they traveled to the nation’s capital and cleared out the Washington Wizards 123-98.
Donovan Mitchell fueled the early offense, almost by himself at times. The All-Star guard scored 11 points in the first quarter. He added six more in the second to have 17 at the half but the Jazz trailed 51-50 at the break nevertheless.
Utah’s jump-shooters, aside from Mitchell, were simply cold in the first half. Mike Conley went just 2-for-7 from the field, Jordan Clarkson was 2 of 8, and Bojan Bogdanovic and Rudy Gay were both 1 of 4.
