SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell worked the defense before spinning for a shot during Utah’s game against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Jazz hosted the Spurs at Vivint Arena on Friday, December 17.
With 5:32 left in the second quarter, Mitchell dribbled the ball and put some moves on Spurs guard Tre Jones. The San Antonio guard couldn’t keep up with the fifth-year Jazzman, who spun his way to the basket for two points despite getting fouled. Mitchell completed the three-point play at the foul line.
