The Jazz didn't stay down long. Utah ended the quarter on a 14-2 run to take a 33-23 lead. Mitchell and Emmanuel Mudiay took turns scoring transition layups to spark the run. Jeff Green and Joe Ingles each buried a 3-pointer to cap it off.
Utah extended its lead to 42-28 early in the second quarter on a layup from Ingles.
Los Angeles rallied late in the quarter and cut the deficit to one at 52-51 on three free throws from Landry Shamet.
The Jazz came out on fire again when Conley took over in the third quarter. Conley scored 18 points on 6-of-8 shooting in the quarter to give Utah a lead it never relinquished.
Mitchell and Conley combined for six straight baskets to spark a 32-8 run for the Jazz. Conley finished the run off with back-to-back 3-pointers, giving the Jazz an 84-63 lead with 4:21 left in the quarter.
Los Angeles rallied early in the fourth quarter and cut the deficit to 99-89 on back-to-back baskets from Jerome Robinson. Conley hit a 3-pointer to quell the run and the Clippers could draw no closer.
