I think I’m speaking on behalf of most Utah Jazz fans when I say I wasn’t exactly optimistic about the team’s chances against the Boston Celtics heading into Saturday’s game. Having lost two straight contests, including a 50-point blowout at the hands of a non-playoff team and a heartbreaking down-to-the-wire loss the night prior, the Jazz had their work cut out for them in Beantown.
But thanks to a team effort and a big night from Donovan Mitchell, the Jazz were able to get back to their winning ways, beating Boston 98-86 to sweep the season series with Gordon Hayward‘s squad.
