SALT LAKE CITY -- After Friday night’s tough two-point loss to New York, Donovan Mitchell brightened up when he was asked if it was good to be playing less than 24 hours later against the L.A. Clippers.
“Yes, 100 percent,” Donovan replied.
Mitchell was anxious to put one of his poorer performances of late in the rear-view mirror after he made just 7 of 21 shots and committed five turnovers in the disappointing defeat.
The rookie from Louisville did just that with a 23-point performance on 9-of-16 shooting, while dishing out seven assists and leading the Jazz to a 125-113 victory at Vivint Arena Saturday night.
