SALT LAKE CITY — Donovan Mitchell clenched his fists with joy as confetti rained from the Vivint Arena ceiling, with his teammates also celebrating.
The cheers from sellout crowd were deafening following the Utah Jazz’s 115-111 come-from-behind win against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday night.
After trailing by 17 points in the fourth, Mitchell posted 19 of his career-best 46 points in the last 12 minutes, with six assists and three rebounds, before being drenched with water by his teammates Naz Mitrou-Long and Thabo Sefolosha during his postgame interview with sideline reporter Kristen Kenney.
Those water bottles were seemingly the only thing that could cool him off down the stretch.
