 MINNEAPOLIS (AP) - The Utah Jazz had a little trouble getting to their game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, and few difficulties once they arrived. Deron Williams had 21 points and eight assists to help the Jazz beat the Timberwolves 109-83 Friday night, shaking off a weather-induced travel delay to win their third straight road game.
The Jazz, who have won 10 of 12 overall, widened the gap in the Northwest Division over third-place Minnesota to 13 games after shooting a season-high 57.5 percent.
"They sat on a plane with food and video games, so they had plenty to do," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "If our guys use it as an excuse, then they are looking to lose."
