SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 15 (UPI) -- Al Jefferson scored 20 points Saturday and Utah bested New Jersey 107-94 in former Jazz star Deron Williams' return to Salt Lake City.

Paul Millsap added 18 points and C.J. Miles contributed 17 points off the bench for the Jazz, who won for the sixth time in their last seven games.

Williams was dealt to the Nets in February following a messy break-up with the team that included disagreements with then-Coach Jerry Sloan.

He was met by a mixture of cheers and boos en route to 16 points, going just 3-of-15 from the floor.

Kris Humphries' 18 points and 10 rebounds led the Nets, who lost for the 14th time in 18 visits to Utah.
