There's a reason why he's called “Spida Mitchell.” Not only is he quick off his feet but he can throw down deadly dunks over defenders. In the clip above, good thing no one dared challenge him. He's tagged as the Jazz's best player. In his second season, Mitchell is averaging 23.6 points per game, 4.0 rebounds, 4.1 assists, and 1.4 steals.
However, it was the Hawks who came out on top, 117-114. The upset was led by rookie Trae Young who finished with 23 points and 11 assists. Dewayne Dedmon chipped in 18 points and nine rebounds.
Mitchell led all scorers with 34 points on 46.9 percent shooting from the field and 33.3 percent from beyond the arc. He had a chance to tie it in the closing seconds of the fourth but missed. Other contributors include Ricky Rubio who had 17 points and seven assists and Derrick Favors who notched a double-double, 15 points, and 15 rebounds.
The loss snaps the Jazz's five-game winning streak. They will end their four-game road trip on Saturday against the Chicago Bulls.
