The Triple Team: Thanks to Donovan Mitchell and Derrick Favors’ heroics, Jazz come back from 17 down in 4th to beat No. 1 Bucks

What a comeback. I thought the Jazz were done in this game after Milwaukee went on another huge run to extend the lead to 17 points, 90-73 with 9:39 left. This was a reasonable opinion, as, according to Inpredict, the Jazz had just a three percent chance of winning the game at that point.

Then Donovan Mitchell happened. For the rest of the quarter, he scored 19 points on 7-10 shooting, 3-3 from three, and added three assists. Even on the three misses, Derrick Favors got the rebound and scored because there was so much defensive attention on Mitchell.
