Donovan Mitchell punctuated a 33-point performance with a huge dunk on Javale McGee as the Utah Jazz rolled to a 113-95 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
Mitchell made 14 of his 24 shots, including four of his five three-point attempts to carry the Jazz to their fourth win in their last five games.
'Spider's' highlight of the night came with 2:58 left in the second quarter as he used a Rudy Gobert screen to blow by Josh Hart and drive into the paint as the Lakers' interior defense parted to give him a clear path to the hoop.
Mitchell elevated and was met at the rim by Lakers center McGee. Unfortunately for McGee, he was powerless to stop the Jazz guard who hammered home a right-handed dunk in his face.
