The Mavs continued to chip away at the Jazz lead in the fourth, turning up the heat on the defensive end, getting to within five points with 2:41 remaining, before buckets from Rudy Gobert and Mitchell sealed the win.
The Mavs forced 21 turnovers, while only committing seven themselves, but the Jazz's red-hot shooting proved too much to overcome.
The Jazz shot 59 percent from the field and 42.9 percent from three (15-of-35), getting plenty of easy looks inside, scoring 54 points in the paint and outrebounding the Mavs 45-26.
Kristaps Porzingis added 28 points and five rebounds for the Mavs, while Hardaway Jr. recorded 33 points on 12-of-18 from the field and 5-of-10 from three.
The Jazz will look to extend their win streak to four games, when they take on the Miami Heat on Thursday in their final game before the All-Star break, while the Mavs will host the Sacramento Kings on Thursday.
