The Utah Jazz defeated the Denver Nuggets, 114-108, at Vivint Smart Home Arena on Wednesday.

After scoring 36 points, including his team's last 14, on Monday, Donovan Mitchell followed up with a team-high 35 points in Wednesday's win. The sophomore guard played a crucial role in the Jazz (27-22) offense, knocking down six of the team's season-high 19 three-pointers. The win was Utah's seventh in its last eight games. Denver (31-15), however, did not go down without a fight. Superstar Nikola Jokic kept the team afloat with a dominant performance, scoring 28 points to go with 21 rebounds and seven assists. It was not enough for the win, though, as Denver shot just 8-of-27 from beyond the arc.

The Jazz also saw strong play from Joe Ingles, who had eight assists and knocked down four three-pointers. Ingles finished with 14 points. Reigning Defensive Player of the Year Rudy Gobert could do little to stop Jokic, but he made his presence felt, blocking three shots and grabbing 10 rebounds.

Off the bench, Will Barton delivered an impressive 22 points and nine rebounds for Denver. Save for Jokic and Barton, however, it was not the team's best night. Veteran All-Star Paul Millsap struggled to make anything happen, going 1-of-8 from the floor for just two points.

On Friday, Denver will host the Phoenix Suns while Utah will see the Minnesota Timberwolves.
