Utah Jazz star Donovan Mitchell came up huge, scoring 51 points, leading the team to a commanding 3-1 series lead over the Denver Nuggets.
It was Mitchell’s second 50-point performance in the series, as he scored 57 points in a Game 1 loss.
Mitchell joins elite company in Michael Jordan (1988) and Allen Iverson (2001) as the only players with multiple 50-point games in a playoff series.
Mitchell’s 50-point game also came in only his 20th career playoff game.
The 23-year-old is averaging 39.5 points and 4.5 three-pointers per game in the four games so far, as the Jazz look to close out the series on Aug. 25.
