Without knowing it at the time, Donovan Mitchell's performance on Dec. 5 was a potential prelude of what's to come.
Against the upstart Cavaliers in Cleveland, Mitchell had one of his best performances of the season. He dropped 35 points, six assists, and three rebounds on 12-of-21 shooting from the floor and 4-for-8 from three-point territory, leading Utah to a 109-108 victory.
Following that victory — and a bunch more since then — Mitchell will return to the scene of the crime on Feb. 20. However, he won't be wearing a Utah Jazz uniform — he will be donning a different type of jersey.
