Jordan Clarkson registered Utah's first triple-double in nearly 16 years and the Jazz avenged a 50-point loss to the Dallas Mavericks with a 127-90 victory Monday night in Salt Lake City.

Clarkson totaled 20 points, 11 assists and 10 rebounds to become the first Jazz player with a triple-double in the regular season since Carlos Boozer had one on Feb. 13, 2008.

The Mavericks trounced the Jazz 147-97 in Dallas on Dec. 6.

Utah, which has won eight of 11 games, controlled the play for much of the night and used a 25-2 run in the second half to blow it open.

Simone Fontecchio led the Jazz with 24 points, including 14 in the first quarter when the team took a double-digit lead.

Lauri Markkanen added 17 points, John Collins scored 15, Keyonte George had 14 and Walker Kessler contributed 11 points, 10 rebounds and four blocks.

Luka Doncic, who had a first-half triple-double in the December blowout, finished with 19 points, 14 assists and six rebounds.

Kyrie Irving returned from a 12-game heel injury absence and had 14 points, nine rebounds and four assists for Dallas. Jaden Hardy got hot from outside, hitting five 3-pointers and scoring 17 points.

The Mavericks trimmed the Jazz's lead to 62-55 at halftime and momentarily pulled within three in the third quarter.

Dwight Powell's dunk had Utah still within 81-75, but things took a dramatic shift after a Jazz timeout.

Markkanen and Clarkson, neither of whom played at Dallas, sparked a surge with 3-pointers, and Utah took a 14-point lead into the fourth quarter thanks to a 12-4 run.

The Jazz continued to pour it on in the fourth quarter, scoring the first four points to go up 97-79.

Irving banked in a 3-pointer and then made a layup to give the Mavericks some hope, but the Jazz seized the momentum for good with a 13-0 run to go up 110-84.

After Dallas scored, the Jazz scored another 10 straight to blow it wide open.

Former Jazz guard Dante Exum, who has played well for Dallas this season, left early with a right heel contusion.
