Donovan Mitchell topped with 36 points and five other players reached double figures as the Knights fought back from nine points down in the third quarter to seal victory.
“We dug deep,” Mitchell said. “For us to continue to be what we want to be, that’s what it takes.
“It was a complete team win. Every night it’s somebody different. We’re playing for each other, being selfless. We’ve got to keep it going.”
