Just like the rest of the NBA, Donovan Mitchell couldn't believe what his Utah Jazz teammate Bojan Bogdanovic did against the Oklahoma City Thunder.
On Sunday, Bogdanovic exploded for 35 points to lead the Jazz to victory over the young Thunder squad. While the scoring outburst was already impressive, what made it even more amazing was the fact that the 32-year-old Croatian did it without scoring a 2-pointer.
Yes, that's right. He only scored with 3-pointers, going 11-of-18 from deep in the contest. His other two points came via free throws. In the process, he became the only player in NBA history to make 11 shots in a game purely from long distance.
After the 116-103 win for the Jazz, Mitchell took to Twitter to express how impressive the feat was. The Utah star was at a loss for words, though, simply writing Bogdanovic's name with three freezing emojis. Indeed, Bogdanovic was cold-blooded in the game.
BOJAN BOGDONAVIC 🥶🥶🥶🥶

Not even Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson, Reggie Miller or Ray Allen achieved such feat, so it's not surprising why Donovan Mitchell and a lot of NBA fans had their jaws drop because of the performance.
It couldn't have come at a better time for Utah as well after they lost their last game against the New Orleans Pelicans. They are trying to have a firm grip on the fourth seed in the West, and they really need every win they can get with the Dallas Mavericks behind them.
hopefully, we'll get to see more incredible display from Bojan Bogdanovic as the playoff hunt intensifies.
