SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell rose up for a massive dunk during Utah’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
Mitchell and the Jazz hosted the Spurs at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Friday, February 21.
The Jazz all-star crossed over and spun around San Antonio point guard Dejounte Murray during the second quarter of play.

The jam pulled Utah to within seven points of San Antonio at 46-39 with 6:01 left the first half.
