Donovan Mitchell and the rest of the Utah Jazz were getting outplayed by the Sacramento Kings in the first half of their showdown at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Saturday. But true to form, the team with the best record in the league flipped the switch in the final 24 minutes and made quick work of the lowly visitors, 128-112.
After the game, Mitchell said the Kings made an unacceptable mistake, which caused him to dial things up a notch in the second half. Per Eric Walden of the Salt Lake Tribune, one Kings player talked some trash to his Jazz teammate Joe Ingles, which triggered an angry response from the usually calm and collected forward.

Utahns are split over whether the statewide mask mandate put in place to slow the spread of COVID-19 should end on Saturday, and only a few believe the Utah Legislature’s decision should be up to just elected officials, according to a new Deseret News/Hinckley Institute of Politics poll.
Results released Thursday showed 44% of Utahns believe the mask mandate should continue beyond the April 10 date set in a new law passed before the 2021 Legislature ended last month, while 20% said the date was reasonable, 14% said it should have been sooner, and 17% said there should have never been a mandate.
