NBA Playoffs: Twitter Reacts to Donovan Mitchell And Jazz Taking a 2-0 Series Lead Over Clippers

The Utah Jazz remain undefeated when Donovan Mitchell plays in the playoffs this season.

The Utah Jazz have continued their six-game winning streak on Thursday evening, beating the Los Angeles Clippers 117-111 in Game 2.

Donovan Mitchell missed Game 1 of the first round against the Memphis Grizzlies (they lost), and since returning, the Jazz have not lost.

Mitchell had 37 points on Thursday in the win.

Here are some Tweets about his performance and the game.

Clippers played almost perfectly to go from 20 down to take the lead… and then the moment they did they just fell apart on both ends.

Just an egregious last 3 minutes & now they go home down 0-2.

14-2 Jazz run directly after Clippers took their first/only second half lead ended this game.

It's a game of runs, and they have been extreme in this series. Clippers have been on the wrong end of too many of them, and they'll need to be more consistent with their poise in LA.

Jazz are just an incredible team. Responded to every Clippers punch tonight & held serve at home to open series despite no Conley. Can't count Clips out yet. Maddeningly casual and disjointed at times, but made at least 1 good adjustment tonight, are going home & still have Kawhi
