Donovan Mitchell has been a phenom for the Jazz, and the rookie put on a show Monday night as he led the team with 33 points in a 17-point win over the Thunder in the playoffs. After the game the Utah crowd stuck around to show their appreciation, and Mitchell was left without words.

What an amazing moment.
James Dator has been covering a wide range of sports for SB Nation for over a decade, with a special focus on the NFL.
It was Mitchell’s wide-eye wonder that made this all so special. He couldn’t believe the reception he was getting and just stood back and soaked it all in. It’s moments like this that make the NBA the best. A star all season long, Mitchell is now shining brightest when the most eyes are on him.
So far this series Mitchell has averaged 27.5 points and 8.5 rebounds en route to the Jazz’s 3-1 series lead. He’s been the team’s backbone, and this ovation was well deserved. Such a cool moment.
