Donovan Mitchell did so much more to help the Jazz win with his off-ball plays — four assists, three steals, two offensive rebounds, and it’s those kind of plays the Jazz desperately need Mitchell to make in order to be at their very best.
Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell makes a move on New York Knicks guard Alec Burks as the Utah Jazz and the New York Nicks play an NBA basketball game at Vivint Arena in Salt Lake City on Monday, Feb. 7, 2022.
This play really sealed the game... Mitchell gets his super-long wingspan in the middle of this handoff to get the steal and the easy two points. “When he’s taking over other areas of the game — we’re watching the film every game and he’s preaching it — as a leader, from his standpoint, he has to go out and do all of the things he asks of us to do,” Conley said. “We’re very excited about the way he approached and finished the game.”
“It’s just a matter of picking your spots,” Mitchell said, about saving his energy for those hustle plays. “I took 26 shots, maybe it could be 21. I had four turnovers. Maybe those 10 threes could be seven.” But there were significant issues with the rebounding on the other ones. Take this play: O’Neale kind of hops to contest the shot, but realizes that Whiteside is going to try to contest, meaning that both players are out of position for the rebound later. Trent Forrest has little chance against Robinson alone, and Mitchell doesn’t come and help until too late.
