Fans are calling Jazz guard Donovan Mitchell a hero for his 31-point effort in Game 4 against the Rockets on Monday, which helped Utah to a 107-91 win to force a Game 5.
Prior to that, however, Mitchell played the role of good Samaritan when he stopped at the scene of a car wreck on Sunday on his way home from practice. According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Mitchell was driving by the scene of a wreck in downtown Salt Lake City when he pulled over, called 911 and made sure everything was OK.

"I was driving by, a lady was falling out of her car, the airbags went off, she was grabbing her chest and I was like, ‘Oh shoot,’" Mitchell said (via the Tribune). "Like a natural instinct to found out what happened."
One Jazz fan even snapped a pic of him on the scene.

Mitchell later said no one involved was harmed.
"I was just going out there to make sure she was OK," he said. "I don’t want to make it like a big, big deal."
