Is there anything Donovan Mitchell can’t do? The Utah Jazz rookie is absolutely fearless in the NBA playoffs, attacking a 65-win Rockets team every chance he gets.

He just put together one of his defining plays late in the fourth quarter of Game 2 against Houston.

This is Mitchell driving into the teeth of the Houston defense, Eurostepping through the paint, coming up short on a layup, but then hammering home a dunk.

Not only is this an incredibly athletic play, it was also a clutch bucket for the Jazz. Utah went on to win Game 2 and even the series, 1-1.
