What a game. These are the kind of games you love to watch as a fan. I may have no more fingernails and my heart may have been beating a mile a minute, but hey, the Utah Jazz are headed to the second round for a date with James Harden and the Houston Rockets.
Donovan Mitchell and Russell Westbrook both put on a show. Westbrook gave it his all, like he always does, but it wasn’t enough. Meanwhile, the rookie dropped 38 points on 14-of-26 shooting, leading the Jazz to victory.
As for Westbrook, the reigning NBA MVP scored 46 points in this one, but shot 18-of-43 from the field.
