SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 8 (UPI) -- Paul Millsap produced 27 points and 14 rebounds Wednesday to help carry Utah past New Orleans 116-90.

After ending the Los Angeles Lakers' 15-game home winning streak 24 hours earlier, the Hornets had nothing left against Utah. The Jazz finished the first half on a 13-4 run that gave them a 58-46 lead and they pulled away during the final two quarters.

Mehmet Okur added 20 points and Kyle Korver had 15 for Utah, winners of two in a row. Utah's C.J. Miles left the game in the third quarter with a sprained right ankle.

New Orleans got 26 points and seven assists from Chris Paul. David West, who scored 40 in the win over the Lakers, had 13 points while making only four field goals.

Utah is 14-4 at home this season.
