DONOVAN MITCHELL’S MORE THAN A DIFFERENCE-MAKER, HE’S UTAH’S ENGINE
COLORS KEY | FULL JAZZ OUTLOOK
In Game 1 of the series, Ja Morant was hitting clutch shots late in the game to keep Memphis ahead, and it was clear Utah was missing someone to answer back. This is typically where Donovan Mitchell shines, as he showed in Game 2. It is obvious that having him in the lineup changes the outcome of games, but he does even more as a leader and getting his team going. Utah needs Spida at his best if they want to make a deep run this postseason, as he isn’t just a difference-maker, he’s their engine.
