Even after the whistle on Tuesday, Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell didn't appreciate Jaylen Brown's antics. So much so that he slapped the Boston Celtics forward's arm.
From the looks of it, Brown was just showing sportsmanship to Mitchell. But the All-Star guard of the Jazz didn't want any piece of Brown.

The reaction from Brown was priceless as well. It was as if he was looking for Mitchell to get slapped with a technical foul for slapping his arm. Perhaps Mitchell just has a different mindset this season. He respects Brown's talent, but when they're on the floor, it's all about winning.
Mitchell's intensity may be the reason for the Jazz's success this season. They picked up the 117-109 victory over the Celtics, which marked their fifth win in the last 10 games. They improved to 29-10 to maintain the best record in the entire NBA.
The Jazz still have a long way to go. As most NBA fans know, an excellent regular season doesn't always mean an excellent postseason campaign. However, it is a good indicator that the team has found the formula to success. Donovan Mitchell and the Jazz are trekking the right path. They just need to keep their foot on that gas pedal.
