SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Ace Bailey made seven 3-pointers and scored 33 points and the Utah Jazz snapped a four-game skid with a 128-96 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night.

Ryan Rollins led Milwaukee with 15 points and five assists. Cam Thomas added 14 points and Ousmane Dieng had 13 for the Bucks.

Utah allowed just two baskets over a six-minute stretch while building a 30-17 lead in the final seconds of the first quarter. The Jazz used a 21-9 run fueled by three baskets from Williams to go up double digits.

Milwaukee trimmed the deficit to single digits early in the second quarter, drawing within 44-40 after Rollins and Bobby Portis scored back-to-back baskets. That’s as close as the Bucks got.

Williams scored on three straight possessions to spark a 20-4 run for Utah. Bailey and Blake Hinson combined for three 3-pointers to finish the run and give the Jazz a 64-44 halftime lead.

Utah extended its lead to 37 points in the fourth quarter.
