Donovan Mitchell finished with 14 points, 10 rebounds and eight
assists for Utah, which earned its fourth consecutive win.
Reserve center Hassan Whiteside totaled 17 rebounds, nine points
and seven blocked shots.
Golden State's Jordan Poole scored 18 points and Steph Curry
added 16 points, but they shot a combined 10-for-27 from the
field on a night the Warriors made just 35.9 percent of their
shots.
The Warriors played without Klay Thompson, who rested ahead of a
Thursday home game against the New York Knicks. Both teams were
without an injured frontcourt starter, Utah's Rudy Gobert (calf)
and Golden State's Draymond Green (back).
Aside from a red-hot start to both halves, the Warriors were
dominated by the Jazz, who outscored the visitors 111-72 after
the first three minutes of the game.
The Warriors jumped out to a quick 13-0 lead -- and that was
before Curry even attempted a shot.
Udoka Azubuike finally got the Jazz on the board with a dunk
that came shortly after Poole hit five consecutive free throws.
Utah used a 14-2 run to roar back and grab a 21-20 lead in the
seesaw first quarter.
Bogdanovic scored six straight points in an 8-0 spurt in the
second quarter to put the Jazz up 43-36. Curry hit a floater at
the buzzer to cut Utah's lead to 55-49 at halftime.
The second half opened similarly to the first. The Jazz missed
their first eight attempts while the Warriors scored eight
straight points to regain the lead at 57-55.
Utah surged the rest of the quarter to go into the fourth up
79-65. Mitchell capped an 8-0 run with back-to-back treys and
Bogdanovic scored the final five of the quarter.
The Jazz continued that momentum into the fourth with a 13-2 run
to storm out to a 92-67 lead.
Mike Conley and Jordan Clarkson each scored 13 points for the
Jazz, while Trent Forrest and Azubuike each added 11.
The Warriors got 13 from Andrew Wiggins, 12 from Jonathan
Kuminga and 11 from Juan Toscano-Anderson.
