This time around, Utah built up a 16-point lead with 1:51 remaining in the first half. And it was gone with 3:15 left in the third quarter. Jordan Clarkson being awarded a trio of free throws due to a foul on a 3-point try with 5:35 remaining put Utah back in front, as did a Rudy Gobert free throw with 3:42 to play, and another Gobert free throw with 2:36 remaining.
