In this campaign, the performance of Jazz core player Mitchell is difficult to say, although he played 39 minutes, 9 of 17, 2 of 7 three-pointers, and only got 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists. However, at the last 6 minutes and 11 seconds of the final quarter, Mitchell did not make a single shot.
At one point in this game, the Jazz led the Lone Ranger by 12 points, but it was eventually reversed. After the game, Mitchell spoke about the loss of the game, saying: "This loss is very injurious and I don't want to lie. ”
At the same time, Mitchell also responded to rumors that he wanted to leave the Jazz: "My mentality now is to win, I haven't really thought about it, I'll think about it in a week, but I won't think about it now."
Asked what went wrong with the Jazz this season, Mitchell responded: "There are times this season when we haven't made it clear that we want to be a team that wants to be a title-contending team, but I love Coach Snyder, who gave me the opportunity as soon as I came to the Jazz, and I think he's done a great job of leading our team forward. ”
Mitchell played 39 minutes, shooting 9-of-17 from the field and 2-of-7 from three-point range, scoring 23 points, 8 rebounds and 9 assists.
