The Utah Jazz‘s first-round series against the Oklahoma City Thunder was about as much of an emotional roller coaster as I can remember in a Jazz postseason series. After losing Game 1, several Jazz fans were worried about Utah’s chances. After all Paul George had gone off to punish the Jazz and many wondered if OKC’s star power would prove to be too much.
Then, all of a sudden the Jazz bounced back by winning three straight contests beginning with a massive road victory in Oklahoma City for Game 2. Donovan Mitchell was brilliant in each contest.
