Jordan Clarkson added 18 points for the Jazz, who exploded for
70 points in the second half. Royce O'Neale chipped in with 14
points, five assists and four steals, and Udoka Azubuike totaled
12 points and seven rebounds.
Wendell Carter Jr. scored 22 and grabbed nine rebounds for
Orlando, which fell to 1-1 on its four-game road trip and lost
for the third time in four games.
Cole Anthony had 18 points, six rebounds and five assists but
also committed seven turnovers, and Mo Bamba notched 16 points
and eight boards in the loss.
Mitchell, who also grabbed seven rebounds, scored nine straight
points and 11 overall during a 17-point run in the first quarter
for a 24-7 lead.
Orlando, which only scored 12 in the opening period, closed the
gap to five with the final seven points of the half. Utah was
limited to 16 points in the second quarter but still led by the
lower-than-usual score of 44-39 heading into the break.
Both offenses clicked in the third quarter.
Carter helped the Magic trim the Jazz lead to 77-74 with 11
points in the period, while O'Neale boosted Utah with three
3-pointers. Orlando outscored the Jazz 35-33 in the quarter.
Utah dominated the fourth. O'Neale and Clarkson hit 3-pointers
midway through the quarter to push the Jazz ahead by 12 points,
and Utah cruised to the victory from there with 37 points in the
period.
Rudy Gobert (calf) and Rudy Gay (knee) were sidelined again for
Utah. Nickeil Alexander-Walker made his Jazz debut, playing just
one minute with zero stats, after being acquired in a three-way
trade earlier in the week.
