The Jazz hosted the Kings at Vivint Arena on Saturday, April 10.
With 4:35 left in the opening quarter, Jazz forward Joe Ingles dished the ball off to Mitchell, who decisively attacked the Kings’ defense.
Mitchell ran down the lane and appeared to prepare for a powerful slam dunk before the Kings contested the fourth-year guard’s attack.
Instead of slamming the ball, Mitchell adjusted his shot and laid the ball off the glass and into the cylinder for two points.
