Adam WellsMay 3, 2018

Utah Jazz rookie Donovan Mitchell channeled Dave Chappelle to reference his massive putback dunk in the fourth quarter of Wednesday's playoff game against the Houston Rockets.

The caption is a tribute to the famous skit from Chappelle's Show in which legendary entertainer Prince, portrayed by Chappelle, sealed the win in a game of pickup basketball with a dunk and said, "Game, blouses," while hanging from the rim.

The Jazz went on to a 116-108 win over the Rockets that evened the series at one game apiece heading to Utah for Game 3 on Friday.
