Donovan Mitchell was incredible tonight, the biggest reason the Jazz went into Orlando and won a game against a team that had won their last two by 20+ points. He scored 32 points on 14-21 shooting, 4-7 from three, and added six assists.
A lot of it was just incredible midrange shotmaking from Mitchell: on floaters, on pull-up jumpers. Long-time readers know that I’d prefer Mitchell to get other shots, but if he makes them at this level, then it doesn’t matter — in the same way it’s fine if, say, Kawhi Leonard takes a bunch of tough midrangers.
