SALT LAKE CITY – Utah Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell worked hard for a nifty bucket while being defended by Chicago Bulls guard Alex Caruso.
The Bulls hosted the Jazz at the United Center on Saturday, October 30.
With 3:23 remaining in the opening quarter, Mitchell dribbled back-and-forth working the defense by Caruso.
The two-time NBA All-Star found an opening and drove to the hoop for a quick layup that beat the 24-second shot clock.
