In the third quarter, Rodney Hood sent a pass to the rookie that he had to leap to reach. While still in the air, Mitchell fired a pass under the rim where a wide-open Thabo Sefolosha was waiting. The play took less than two seconds to get from Hood’s hands to the bucket — a perfect read that almost suprised Sefolosha.
It was the way the Utah Jazz (9-11) played in the 121-108 win over the Milwaukee Bucks: unselfishly and decisively. Tying a season high with 31 assists, there were plenty of shots to go around.
Against a Bucks team (9-9) that prides itself on disrupting ball movement, the Jazz looked like they were playing as free as they have all year on offense on the way to a season-high 56.
