Donovan Mitchell put up a career high 41 points last night against the New Orleans Pelicans. In doing so, he set a Utah Jazz franchise rookie record in points, became the 1st rookie since Blake Griffin in 2011 to score 40 or more in a game, and, most importantly, led his team to a comeback victory against the New Orleans Pelicans.
With a night like last night it’s hard to use even more superlatives to describe Mitchell. He’s the amazing Spida-man, after all. But Donovan Mitchell is doing something that is just unheard of: he’s leading Utah to wins and has the Utah Jazz in the seven spot in the Western Conference.
