Donovan Mitchell leaves the game holding his left leg and limps straight to the locker room.
Insult to injury, but backwards I guess.
So… could be a significant lasting image in Jazz history. – 11:54 PM

Oh, boy. L2M report says Donovan Mitchell should have been called for offensive foul against Dwight Powell when he drove into the lane with 33 seconds left. He missed the shot, rebounded his miss and converted a 3-point play.
In other words, score should have remained 99-95. pic.twitter.com/3mnPuq7778 – 6:37 PM
