Jazz crush battered Warriors by 40

Donovan Mitchell scored 22 points and Derrick Favors added 16 points and nine rebounds to help the Utah Jazz cruise to a 119-79 victory over the Golden State Warriors on Tuesday night.

Mitchell went 4-for-5 from three-point range, pushing his season total to 186 three-pointers, Reuters reported.

It helped him pass Damian Lillard to set a new NBA rookie record.

Rudy Gobert and Ricky Rubio added 13 points apiece for the Jazz. Utah won the season series 3-1 over Golden State.

Klay Thompson scored 23 points and Kevin Durant added 13 for the Warriors, who already clinched the No. 2 seed in the West. Golden State never led in the game and lost to Utah by a double-digit margin for the third time this season.

The Jazz outscored the Warriors 62-38 in the paint and scored 25 points off 15 turnovers.

Utah dominated on both ends of the court during the first quarter.
