Donovan Mitchell hammered home a huge dunk after dancing through the Thunder defense in the Utah Jazz's loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder.
Mitchell scored a team-high 25 points on 8-of-22 shooting, including 3-of-8 from three-point range, but could not prevent the Jazz from falling to a 98-89 defeat as they were suffocated by the Thunder's defense.
Mitchell's highlight of the night came with 9:16 remaining in the fourth quarter. With the Jazz trailing by 10, he used a Rudy Gobert screen to evade his defender Dennis Schroder and advance inside the three-pointer line.
Faced by Thunder big man Nerlens Noel, Mitchell switched direction to cut left into the paint and wrongfoot the help defender. That opened up a lane to the rim and Mitchell needed no second invitation, elevating to the basket to hammer home a huge one-handed slam.
Mitchell got the better of Noel from three-point range earlier in the quarter too, executing a fiendish step-back move that almost floored the Thunder defender before the Jazz guard rattled home a triple.
