Donovan Mitchell – (Utah Jazz)

Donovan Mitchell had 28 points and seven rebounds, and the Utah Jazz beat the New Orleans Pelicans 118-102 on Tuesday night for their sixth straight victory.

Donovan’s performance overshadowed another huge offensive outing by Zion Williamson. However, Zion and his New Orleans Pelicans are back in Utah with and opportunity for revenge tonight.

New Orleans Pelicans

Zion Williamson notched a second-straight 30-point game for the first time in his NBA career, but his 32 points weren’t nearly enough to overcome Utah’s long-distance shooting spree that saw six different Jazz players drain multiple 3-pointers.

“We couldn’t stop them on anything,” New Orleans coach Stan Van Gundy said after Utah connected on 15 more 3-pointers than his squad, which hit 6 of 26. “Obviously what stands out is the 21 3s, but they also didn’t have any trouble getting to the rim. So, you know, they got whatever they wanted. We didn’t take anything away from them.”

If the Pelicans hope to reverse tonight outcome, they need to get better on the defensive side of the ball. And they should do it fast!

“The biggest thing is we’re shooting our shots,” said Donovan Mitchell, whose team has won six straight in part because of the long-ball trend. “We’re not passing up 3s.”
