Someone call the police, Donovan Mitchell just dropped two grown men. Mitchell did it all for the Utah Jazz during their matchup against the Boston Celtics, including embarrass the other team's stalwart defenders.
Spida's first victim was breakout star Jaylen Brown. The Jazz frontman used just the right amount of momentum to send Brown flying while still within still looking clean in the eyes of the referees.

Next was Grant Williams, who helped out Utah's cleaning crew to wipe the dirt off the Jazz corner logo. Mitchell's triple on the Celtics forward was the death knell that signaled the end, putting his team up double-digits with under two minutes left to play.

Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz are playing inspired basketball. They hold the best record in the NBA thanks to a playing style and level of efficiency reminiscent of the Golden State Warriors from years prior. They've won five games in a row and are just weeks removed from their 11-game win streak putting them at 16-1 in their last 17 contests.
The Jazz looked the part of a number one seed during their nationally-televised tilt against the Celtics. Despite the score staying relatively close for most of the game, Utah just looked in control throughout. Their steady diet of high-percentage three-point tries allows them to go from zero to a hundred seemingly at a whim.
Donovan Mitchell paced his squad with 36 big points. But the fact that they also got double-figure contributions from Joe Ingles (24 points), Rudy Gobert (18 points), Bojan Bogdanovic (16 points), and Jordan Clarkson (13 points) shows just how spread out their scoring is, even without veteran Mike Conley in the lineup.
The Jazz are set to face the gauntlet of Eastern contenders, with the Milwaukee Bucks coming up next.
