Utah Jazz started their three-game road trip on a good note as they take down Atlanta Hawks with ease,116-98. Jordan Clarkson led the team to a strong comeback against Hawks in the second half before Clarkson had just scored five points in the match and later finished with season-high 30 points. Jazz overcame a slow start in the second half at State Farm Arena.
Clarkson was facing a lot of criticism because of his recent slump but proved it all to be untrue as he continued to shoot relentlessly. Jazz missed Mitchell during the match as the player had a right ankle sprain and was resting for the match. Utah Jazz would take on Miami Heat next and later take on Magic as well.
