Playing extremely shorthanded against the reigning MVP on Wednesday, the Utah Jazz knew it would be an uphill climb if they wanted to extend their road winning streak 10 games.
Making matters even worse, the all-star backcourt of Mike Conley and Donovan Mitchell struggled to find their shooting touch throughout much of the game.
In the end, it didn't matter because Bojan Bogdanovic and others stepped up to overcome Nikola Jokic's triple-double, leading Utah to a 115-109 victory over Denver in a battle of the Mountain West.
"It feels like the biggest win right at this moment," head coach Quin Snyder said postgame.
