It may have been Joe Ingle’s night with a career-high 27 points for the Utah Jazz, but Donovan Mitchell had the sickest play of Game 2 of the Western Conference Semifinals. The rookie had a nasty one-handed putback dunk after missing a shot in the paint.

Mitchell has been sensational so far during the playoffs and the season as a whole. If it weren’t for Philadelphia’s Ben Simmons, he’d be a lock for Rookie of the Year.
After stealing game 2 in Houston from the Rockets, the Jazz will play game 3 at home in Salt Lake City on Friday at 10:30pm ET on ESPN.
