Having made the play that the Jazz wish would define forever their Western Conference semifinal series vs. Houston (but probably won’t), rookie guard Donovan Mitchell posted a photo of himself hanging on the rim after spectacularly rebounding and dunking his own missed shot in the Jazz’s Game 2 road victory.
Mitchell referenced a classic television sketch that requires some explanation — and it’s coming, I promise — in an expression of branding and self-promotion that was not exactly Stockton-esque. And then he went out and played easily his worst game of the playoffs as the Jazz were routed 113-92 in Friday’s Game 3 at Vivint Smart Home Arena.
