Good to see Donovan Mitchell take over.

Said it last year on one of those 8 assist games,I'll say it now and until the cows come home: Donovan Mitchell makes the offense go when he's put in the role of becoming the point guard.Early,he was the shot hunter.late he was looking for guys.The latter feeds his confidence and the team's.

And mark it down,he will get his best shot down the road as a point guard.
 
For those who weren't able to watch the game, Valvano mentioned that Mitchell had missed a couple days of practice and lost 4 lbs due to an abscess (tooth?). I think that may have something to do with a slow start.

I agree that Mitchell took over the game but Snider kept us in the game and made some big shots. Plus Spaulding's defense.
And just to add,Adel couldn't have looked worse at one end of the court,but he will be on the court despite that because he is a lockdown defender.He did it early and late.Good to see Big Ray swatting shots.We need that presence in the paint.

Told my son something was off for Mitchell. Didnt have his normal explosiveness around the basket. This explains it.
