MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. – Utah guard Donovan Mitchell pulled a mean cross over against Minnesota’s Robert Covington that sent the Timberwolves forward to the floor in the Jazz’s win.
Mitchell’s crossover came with 3:03 left in the fourth quarter on Wednesday, November 20.
The Jazz guard took a pass from Mike Conley, drove towards the top of the arc, planted his right foot, and pulled back to the left. The move left Covington fading to the right and all the way to his back on the court.
