Houston • Joe Ingles kept shaking his head as Donovan Mitchell walked the media through his fourth-quarter putback dunk after Game 2 on Wednesday night.
“His mid-air decision should’ve been to get back on transition defense,” Ingles said with a parental tone. “I guarantee you that’s in the film session tomorrow.”
Mitchell’s bounce-back and one-handed jam was at the front of every highlight reel from the Jazz’s 116-108 victory in Game 2. While the basket itself — another display of the reigning dunk champion’s rare ability — was fodder for discussion, so was the astounded reaction from the bench (and maybe a little bit from press row).
