Utah Jazz Players Donovan Mitchell, Tony Bradley Connect During First Quarter Against Spurs

SALT LAKE CITY, Utah – Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell connected with Utah center Tony Bradley multiple times during the opening quarter of action against the San Antonio Spurs.

The Jazz played against the Spurs in the final of eight seeding games prior to the postseason inside the NBA’s bubble in Florida.

Utah played San Antonio at Disney’s ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on Thursday, August 13.

Mitchell and Bradley were both members of the 2017 NBA Draft class and have played all three seasons of their NBA careers with the Jazz.

Midway through the first quarter, Mitchell found Bradley in the paint on back-to-back possessions. Bradley hit both field goal attempts on the pair of dishes from Mitchell to give Utah a 22-17 lead with 5:03 remaining in the opening quarter.

Racking our brains, the @UtahJazz may have never had a pick and role duo as good as Donovan Mitchell and Tony Bradley.
