Jordan Clarkson had 18 off the bench to lead the Jazz.
Utah led 71-70 before the Bucks took command with a 17-1 run late in the third quarter. Lillard and Antetokounmpo combined to score Milwaukee’s first 15 points in that spurt.
The Bucks are at New York on Friday night.

The Pro Football Stadium District Board held a closed session Thursday to discuss several things including lease negotiations involving Lambeau Field.
You may remember the Packers and the city of Green Bay have been back-and-forth about the matter.
Negotiations eventually led to the Packers requesting the stadium district to get involved to make a deal that worked for everyone.
“What does the district need as part of an extended lease agreement to continue as a three-party agreement with Lambeau Field,” said Brian Dworak with the Pro Football Stadium District.
The Stadium District said all three parties still need to meet for discussions.
Lambeau Field still has 18 years left on its lease with the city.
The 27th annual search for Packers FAN Hall of Fame nominees has started.
The tradition, which started in 1998, honors devout and longtime Packer fans who embody the spirit of the team. The honoree will be announced in late February of 2025 and will receive four club tickets and four pre-game sideline passes to a 2025 Packers game, four passes to the Packers Hall of Fame, a custom Packers jersey, a $500 Packers Pro Shop gift certificate, and a one-year subscription to PackersNews.com.
Fans can nominate themselves, a relative, or a friend with an essay about the nominee’s Packer fandom as well as a photo. Nominations will be accepted through the FAN Hall of Fame Website until Nov. 30, with the 10 finalists being chosen by the selection committee in December.
Fans without internet access can mail their nomination essays, along with their contact information, to the Packers’ Milwaukee office address: Green Bay Packers FAN Hall of Fame, 330 E. Kilbourn Avenue, Suite 1455, Milwaukee, WI 53202. For those mailing applications, a copy of the original photo should be submitted in case of damage or loss.
The final round of voting, which will be open to fans from Jan. 1 to Jan. 31, will also take place on the website.
