Utah Jazz: FIBA World Cup roundup – Mitchell, USA defeat Brazil, will face Gobert, France next

It wasn’t always pretty, but Team USA managed to escape FIBA group play unscathed as they finished off Brazil on Monday by a score of 89-73. Although the first half was close, Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell and his American teammates managed to turn up the pressure in the second half to cruise to a quite comfortable victory.

Speaking of Mitchell, this wasn’t his most memorable game from a scoring standpoint by any means. He finished with just six points on 2-of-6 shooting from the field. However, where Donovan was truly spectacular was in his facilitating as he finished the contest with a game-high seven assists.
