SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Utah Jazz duo Donovan Mitchell and Bojan Bogdanovic sparked a 14-0 run to start the game against the New Orleans Pelicans.
The first two points was Mitchell making a pair of free throws. The three-year star then made his first attempt from downtown. Bogdanovic made the next two triples and Mitchell capped the 14-0 start with a three-pointer. The two combined for the 14 points and made all 4 three-pointers.
Tony Bradley got the start for the first time in his career for the injured Rudy Gobert. He made a bucket and Bogdanovic added an 11-foot shot to stretch the hot start to 18-2.
