Donovan Mitchell drove down the right wing and went up for the layup before Joel Embiid helped out and swatted the shot away. He stared at the defeated Mitchell and goated the rookie into a technical when he shoved Embiid, who flopped like a finish to the floor and immediately signaled for the technical, which he received. Then he waved on the crowd in Philly.
So beautifully played!
Classic Jojo.
The incident was definitely the most memorable of a 107-86 Philadelphia 76ers win over the Utah Jazz.
