That 107-79 demolishing was worth forgetting. The Jazz (15-18) discussed the game but didn’t watch film. But at least two things are expected to be very different when the teams tip off for the second time in four days Saturday evening. Utah will host this time and they’re expecting star rookie Donovan Mitchell to be back on the floor.
Mitchell (17.7 ppg) quickly has become one of Utah’s most important players on offense, giving a dynamic, attacking element to the starting backcourt. But he’s missed the last two games with a toe contusion on his right foot suffered in Cleveland.
