Paul Millsap scored 20 points and C.J. Miles added 19 as the Utah Jazz led from the start in overwhelming the visiting Los Angeles Clippers 108-79 on Tuesday.
Los Angeles, which had its three-game winning streak snapped, was missing Chris Paul (hamstring) and Mo Williams (foot) and looked completely lost as Utah ran wild in easily earning its most lopsided victory of the season.
The Jazz (9-4) have won 16 in a row at home against the Clippers (7-4) and are 38-1 against them in Salt Lake City.
Al Jefferson had 13 rebounds and 10 points, Devin Harris scored 13 and reserves Alec Burks (11) and Enes Kanter (10) also reached double figures.
Caron Butler scored 14 points, Blake Griffin had 11 rebounds and 10 points and Courtney Fortson added 13. Randy Foye had 11 and Chauncey Billups 10.
The Jazz, 7-1 at home, enjoyed a 27-8 edge in fast-break points and their bench outscored the Clippers 54-32.
