The Jazz rallied back from a 14-point deficit in the first quarter to win the matchup between the top team from the NBA's Western Conference against the top team from the Eastern Conference. The Jazz have now won eight games in a row, and 19 of their last 20 games. They lead the NBA at 23-5.
Donovan Mitchell scored 24 points for the Jazz, and Joe Ingles added 20.
Ben Simmons led the 76ers with 42 points, and Tobias Harris added 36 in the loss. Philadelphia did not have leading scorer Joel Embiid; he missed the game with back tightness.
