Donovan Mitchell dunks on entire Nuggets team (Video)

Donovan Mitchell’s fourth quarter dunk was a clear posterization

Mitchell’s been one of the stories of the postseason, scoring 50 points twice in the Jazz’s first-round series against the Denver Nuggets. On Tuesday, Mitchell dropped a critical fourth quarter bucket in the most emphatic way possible. It’s not often that a player of Mitchell’s caliber will even take a chance at a one-handed tomahawk slam in such a close game, but he had nothing to worry about. Mitchell’s jam will go down as one of the best in the bubble.

Mitchell’s battle with Jamal Murray is one of the best storylines in the NBA this season

Both Mitchell and Murray have put up 50-point performances this series, and the two young guards are giving the Western Conference a glimpse into the future, as the likes of the Lakers and Clippers still reign as the top two seeds.

Mitchell’s evolution from under-appreciated rookie to the face of the franchise in Utah is clear as day now, and the limitations of a small market no longer hinder him with all eyes on the bubble.
