SALT LAKE CITY, March 18 (UPI) -- Paul Millsap and Kyle Korver led a big effort from Utah's bench Wednesday and the Jazz dominated the fourth period to defeat Minnesota 122-100.

Utah's substitute players scored 61 points, with Millsap producing 21 and Korver a season-high 20. The Jazz took a 14-point lead into the fourth quarter and poured in 35 points during that period to ensure there would be no comeback.

Utah shot 68 percent from the field in the second half.

The Jazz won for the sixth time in eight outings and moved within two games of Denver for the lead in the Northwest Division. Minnesota has lost 11 consecutive games and has dropped 17-of-18.

Al Jefferson and Corey Brewer both had 17 points for the Timberwolves.
