4. Donovan Mitchell:

   I feel like I was able to go back, but no need to risk it down 16, 18 at that point, it doesn’t make sense to go back out there and possibly tweak it. Just rest and get ready for the next game. Mitchell missed his first four shots, including a pair of drives to the basket, and didn’t make his first basket until there was 7:34 left in the second quarter. He then proceeded to score Utah's next 16 points, which included four 3-pointers. It was the first time in his last 23 games that Mitchell had gone scoreless in the first quarter.

5. Stefan Worrall:

   We've had a decidedly more bullish mood these last few days, with a bit of encouragement coming from oil prices, a bit of encouragement from China's trade data, and the yen is obviously playing a factor, these are all very encouraging signs that at the very minimum indicate that selling pressure has eased, and which hopefully mark some degree of more sustainable optimism. But that's hard to say for certain given how many people got caught on the wrong side of false dawns and dead cat bounces last quarter.
