SALT LAKE CITY -- George Hill scored a season-high 34 points and the Utah Jazz handled the Brooklyn Nets wire-to-wire in a 112-97 victory Friday night.
The Jazz snapped a two-game losing streak and extended their lead for the No. 4 Western Conference playoff spot by 1 1/2 games over the Los Angeles Clippers.
Utah put the game away with a 19-5 stretch in the third quarter, capped by Rudy Gobert's alley-oop dunk from Dante Exum.
Utah had great ball movement on offense and Brooklyn's defense never got the Jazz out of rhythm.
