SALT LAKE CITY – Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell flew toward the hoop for a two-handed slam dunk on an alley-oop during the opening quarter of Utah’s game against the Toronto Raptors.

The Jazz hosted the Raptors at Vivint Arena on Thursday, November 18.

With 6:57 remaining in the first quarter, Jazz forward Royce O’Neale tossed a backwards lob to a leaping Mitchell.

The fifth-year NBA All-Star threw the ball through the cylinder for a two-handed jam.
