The Utah Jazz have been on a hot streak as of late, and Mitchell taking flight and slamming them in is a big part of the team’s success.
This particular dunk came Monday night in Salt Lake City against the Pistons when Mitchell drove down the paint and threw down an impressive slam dunk in the final minute of the first half.
Mitchell led the Jazz’s victory over the Pistons with 23 points. He shot 7-15 from the field, added 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and a steal in 32 minutes on the court. The Jazz star recorded a team-high plus-minus rating of +21.
