SALT LAKE CITY, Feb. 24 (UPI) -- Ronnie Brewer had 19 points and Paul Millsap had 16 points and 12 rebounds Monday night when the Utah Jazz beat Atlanta 108-89.

Kyle Korver scored 16, Deron Williams had 15 points and 10 assists and Matt Harpring scored 15 for the Jazz, who won their fifth straight game -- and celebrated the return of Carlos Boozer, who was out for three months following left-knee surgery. He scored two points and grabbed five rebounds in a little more than 21 minutes.

Joe Johnson led the Hawks with 15 points. Al Horford finished with 14 points, six rebounds and five assists and Josh Smith scored 11 points before he was ejected at 3:20 of the fourth quarter for a hard foul on Harpring.

The Jazz led 99-76 at the time and maintained a comfortable led the rest of the way, sending the Hawks to their third loss in four games.
