On April 29, Beijing time, the NBA playoffs continued, and after Bogdanovic missed a three-point kill, the Jazz lost to the Lone Ranger 96-98, and the total score was eliminated 2-4. After the exit, the Jazz's outside core Mitchell also gave an interview to the media, saying that he wanted to train hard in the summer and lead the Jazz to make a comeback in the future.
Previously, it was rumored that if the Jazz had a poor record this season, then Mitchell might apply for a trade to leave the team. But Mitchell said, "I want to stay with the Jazz, although the first round out is sad, to be honest. My mentality now is that I want to win, and I don't see the rumors or think about them. ”
In addition, Mitchell also admitted that he was willing to take responsibility for the Jazz's first-round exit. "A lot of things happened in this series, we didn't handle the situation well, I'm not going to dump the blame on the out of the game to other people, we didn't do what we had to do, from me, no one played at championship level."
After suffering a first-round exit, Mitchell also admitted that he would train hard this summer's offseason because he did not reach the level he wanted to achieve this season.
In this year's playoffs, Mitchell averaged 25.5 points per game, but shot just 39.8 percent from the field, including just 20.8 percent from three-point range.
