SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell started hot, scoring 13 first quarter points against the Washington Wizards.
The Jazz played the Wizards at Vivint Arena on Saturday, December 18.
Mitchell must’ve had a sour taste in his mouth after a disappointing loss to the Spurs on Friday, December 17. Donovan came out firing, hitting two deep threes in the first minute of the Jazz game against the Washington Wizards.
