Donovan Mitchell had everyone buzzing with a jaw-dropping play he made in the fourth quarter of Game 2 between the Houston Rockets and Utah Jazz on Wednesday.
Mitchell missed a shot in traffic in the paint, but he followed it up by slamming it down and hanging on the rim. It was a statement play.

The reactions were lively.
Reggie Miller said Donovan Mitchell was quiet. Donovan Mitchell says Reggie Miller never dunked like that.

Donovan Mitchell is a basketball weapons system. And he’s not just a passer or shooter or dunker or offensive player he’s everything.
