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.

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.
