Conley finished with 14 points, eight rebounds
and eight assists while Mitchell totaled 13 points, 10 rebounds
and eight assists in his first game since earning his second
All-Star Game trip.
Rudy Gobert, also named to his second All-Star team, added 18
points and nine rebounds as the Jazz earned their 22nd win in 24
games. It also the 20th time in the spurt that they won by
double digits.
Bojan Bogdanovic added 15 points -- all on 3-pointers -- for
Utah, which has the best record in franchise history to begin a
season (26-6) and the NBA's best mark this campaign.
LeBron James scored 19 points but didn't have much help in the
Lakers' most lopsided loss of the season. Los Angeles, playing
without Anthony Davis (calf) and Dennis Schroder (health and
safety protocols), lost its fourth straight and fell for the
fifth time in six games.
The game was competitive in the first quarter, but the Jazz blew
it open in the second quarter by outscoring the Lakers 39-24.
Utah put it away with a 27-17 third-quarter advantage.
The Lakers are hoping to get Schroder back for their Friday home
game against the Portland Trail Blazers. He has been sidelined
for four games.
Only two other players scored in double figures for the Lakers:
Montrezl Harrell (16 points) and Markieff Morris (12). Morris
grabbed a team-high nine rebounds.
Derrick Favors added 12 points for Utah.
Utah made 22 3-pointers after draining a franchise-record 28 in
beating the Charlotte Hornets 132-110 on Monday.
