MIAMI — On opposite ends of the floor at American Airlines Arena Sunday, a rising star and a seasoned veteran went through pregame warm-ups at the same time ahead of the Utah Jazz versus Miami Heat matchup.
For the next 48 minutes, they went at it in a classic duel on the hardwood where Heat legend Dwyane Wade got the better of Jazz up and comer Donovan Mitchell, with Miami snapping Utah’s two-game win streak, 102-100.
Afterward, they exchanged jerseys and posed for photos, which Mitchell was thankful of despite missing the potential game-winning 3-pointer at the buzzer.
