The Utah Jazz may have gotten their doors blown off at home by the Houston Rockets on Saturday night, but not before Donovan Mitchell made a ridiculous cross-court pass to Jae Crowder for a three-pointer:

To me, the most impressive part of that pass is how Mitchell actually looked off P.J. Tucker before essentially firing a pinpoint laser of a no-look pass to Crowder.
Mitchell isn't even necessarily known for his ability to facilitate, but that was just incredible.
The second-year guard finished with 26 points, nine assists and six rebounds in what ended up being a 125-98 loss, going 7-of-24 from the floor, 2-of-10 from three-point range and 10-of-11 from the free-throw line.
On the season overall, Mitchell is averaging 22.4 points, four assists, 3.8 rebounds and 1.5 steals over 33.2 minutes per game while shooting 42.1 percent from the floor, 32.1 percent from long distance and 79.6 percent from the charity stripe.

Mitchell's efficiency has not exactly been great this season, which has drawn criticism, but there is no denying that he has the talent to become one of the most dynamic offensive players in the league.
Last year, the 22-year-old registered 20.5 points, 3.7 boards, 3.7 assists and 1.5 steals across 33.4 minutes a night while making 43.7 percent of his field-goal attempts, 34 percent of his three-point tries and 80.5 percent of his foul shots.
Mitchell, who played his collegiate basketball at the University of Louisville, was originally selected by the Denver Nuggets in the first round (13th pick overall) of the 2017 NBA Draft before immediately being traded to the Jazz.
Utah fell to 30-24 after the loss to Houston.
