Donovan Mitchell ‘likes’ tweet taking shot at Timberwolves

Donovan Mitchell

On Wednesday, the Utah Jazz did what the Minnesota Timberwolves could not — steal a road playoff game — and Donovan Mitchell certainly took note.

The Jazz won Game 2 of their first-round playoff series against the Oklahoma City Thunder to knot it up at one game apiece. Afterwards, Michael Lee of Yahoo! Sports tweeted this interesting Ricky Rubio-themed tidbit about the Wolves, who lost their own Game 2 to the Houston Rockets on Wednesday.

For context, Rubio, the current Jazz guard, played his first six NBA seasons in Minnesota but never once made it to the playoffs with them. As for Mitchell, Rubio’s current backcourt partner, he found Lee’s tweet pretty amusing and hit the “like” button on it before posting a cryptic emoji one of his own.

Was Mitchell simply supporting his teammate Rubio here? Perhaps. But it is worth noting that the Jazz and Wolves had some beef in the regular season.
