Donovan Mitchell Spins Twice Before Making Fade Away Jumper Over Bulls

CHICAGO, Ill. – Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell pulled a spin move out twice against Chicago Bulls guard Tomas Satoransky before making a difficult fadeaway jumper.

Mitchell’s jump shot came with 4:03 left in the first half of Utah’s game against the Bulls on Thursday, January 2 at the United Center.

The Jazz star dribbled toward Satoransky on the right angle of the court before spinning against the Bulls guard. Satoransky followed Mitchell’s move but the Jazzman hit him with another spin, this time going the opposite direction. Mitchell’s move created enough space for him to rise up, fade back, and shoot an impressive 17-foot jumper.
