Donovan Mitchell broke out of his mini slump and willed the Jazz to victory Wednesday night in Houston. Despite his 38 points, 7 assists, 5 rebounds, dazzling finishes at the rim, and ruthless step-back threes, the coolest thing that Donovan Mitchell did last night was not actually playing basketball. Mitchell honored Lauren McCluskey, the University of Utah student athlete who was murdered earlier this week, by writing her name on his shoes before the game.
He played his heart out during the game and almost single-handedly led the Jazz to victory against James Harden and the Rockets.
