Mitchell finished with 30 points with 10 points coming in the fourth quarter. It’s his seventh 30-point game this season. Bogdanovic added 28 points to help the Jazz get back into the game. The Jazz had Mike Conley back for the first time after missing the last five games with a hamstring injury. Early in the fourth quarter, he was ruled out for the rest of the game with the same injury.
