The Utah Jazz welcomed the Atlanta Hawks into town, only five days after beating them in Atlanta. This time, Donovan Mitchell was in the lineup, and he made his presence felt from the beginning, scoring a quick seven points in the first few minutes.
Utah regularly deployed full-court traps against Atlanta’s star Trae Young. It worked at times, but players of his caliber find a way around tough defense. He carved the Jazz defense up in the pick & roll for much of the night, finishing with 27 points and 6 assists.
