Clint Capela hauled in a game-high 13 points and scored nine points for Atlanta.
Lauri Markkanen, who just earned his first All-Star Game invitation, was one of three Jazz players to produce at least 20 points, scoring 25 points and grabbing 10 rebounds. It was the 20th consecutive game in which Markkanen scored 20 or more.
Jordan Clarkson scored 24 and Mike Conley, playing his 1,000th NBA game, chipped in with 20 points and eight assists.

The Jazz posted a late rally, outscoring the Hawks 12-2 to get within five after Clarkson hit a 3-pointer with 3:18 left.
Young, a two-time All-Star, responded with a big 3-pointer, but Utah kept chipping into the margin and got as close as four when Ochai Agbaji hit a trey with 36.1 seconds remaining.
Hunter then sealed the victory for the visitors with a 3-pointer with 22 seconds to go.
Atlanta jumped out to a 14-3 lead and then surged ahead by 22 points in the second quarter after Young scored six of his 17 first-half points during an 8-0 run.
The Jazz, who only 1-for-12 from 3-point range in the first quarter, finished the first half strong, going on a 12-2 run to trim Atlanta's lead to 62-50.
