Donovan Mitchell drops 46 points in return to Utah, but Jazz get the win

Tuesday night provided Utah Jazz fans a familiar sight: Donovan Mitchell going off in a Jazz win.

A back-and-forth game followed, but the Jazz leading by double-digits in the third quarter but the Cavaliers taking a seven-point lead in the fourth when Mitchell delivered a personal 10-0 run.
