The Jazz led by as many as 11 points in the first quarter but Portland closed the gap to 32-30 in the second on Nicolas Batum's dunk. It was as close as the Blazers would get, and the Jazz went on to lead 57-39 at halftime.
Harris had all six of his 3-pointers and 25 points in the first half.
Paul Millsap's driving layup made it 68-45 midway through the third quarter. Alec Burks' jumper put the Jazz up 92-68 with 8:52 left in the game.
"This is where we want to be. We've got a great chance of making the playoffs and we want to take advantage of it," Jazz coach Tyrone Corbin said.
NOTES: Canales, who has never lacked for enthusiasm, addressed the crowd before the game, punctuating his thanks with a "Go Blazers!" and a raised fist. Canales started with the team as an unpaid intern in 2004. ... Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll attended the game with Blazers owner Paul Allen, who also owns the NFL team. ... Portland has made at least six 3-pointers in 20 consecutive games, tying the franchise record set in 2008.
