What a special night in Salt Lake City.
The Jazz fanbase welcomed back Donovan Mitchell in his first return visit since the big trade this past offseason. He was met with wide support and appreciation. While certainly not every word or deed from Donovan was supported by every fan, he deserved adoration akin to the joy he brought us for five seasons.

But at soon as the game tipped off, it was all business—and Mitchell gave the Jazz plenty of it, scoring 25 in the first half on only 12 shots while also contributing 3 rebounds, 4 assists, and a steal.
