Nuggets: Denver struggled again when Jokic was on the bench. Once he returned in the fourth quarter, he immediately hit a 3-pointer and found Westbrook for a dunk and his 10th assist a couple minutes later.

Jazz: Utah played four rookies — Kyle Filipowski, Isaiah Collier, Brice Sensabaugh and Cody Williams — with Clarkson for a key stretch in the fourth quarter and actually cut the Denver’s lead to 109-107 on Filipowski’s three-point play with 7:28 remaining.

After Sexton dribbled around two Nuggets, Westbrook picked his pocket for his fourth steal. He dunked it on the other end and gave Denver a 126-114 lead with 2:46 remaining..

The Jazz, who commit more turnovers than any team in the league, had 13 turnovers in the second half which led to 14 Denver points. Utah only had three in the first half.

The Jazz are at New York and the Nuggets host Atlanta on Wednesday.
