The bad from the Los Angeles Lakers’ win:
Well, Donovan Mitchell didn’t have a concussion in this game!
When the Lakers beat the Utah Jazz earlier this season, it was shocking to see how bad Donovan Mitchell was playing. Like he was really, really bad. The next day, he was placed in the concussion protocols.
Well, he was on point in this game. After the Jazz fell down 8-0 to start the game, he put on an offensive clinic in the first half scoring 26 points. To put this performance in perspective, the rest of the Jazz had 25 points in the first half.
Make it 26 points for @spidadmitchell in the first half 😳

He handed some business cards to Austin Reaves, Stanley Johnson and Talen Horton-Tucker. It’s not their fault because when this dude gets locked and loaded, this is what he does.
Mitchell finished with 37 points, but the Lakers slowed him with different looks that started with (checking notes!) Kent Bazemore.
Anthony Davis…
Look this is bigger than the bad section of this report. It’s bigger than that. Just hit the purple bar because we all know that is the story!
