C.J. Miles scored 20 points and Al Jefferson added 19, leading the Utah Jazz to a 94-83 win over the Sacramento Kings on Monday night.
Utah (10-5), which leads the league with six fourth-quarter comebacks, didn't need any late rallies in this one. The Jazz trailed by two after one quarter but outscored the visiting Kings 58-34 over the next two periods to take control of the game.
Sacramento outscored Utah 27-16 in the fourth quarter to make the final score look more respectable, but the game was never in question.
Miles, who scored 25 points in Saturday's win over Portland, gave the Jazz another boost off the bench. He hit 8 of 13 from the field and made all three of his foul shots.
Deron Williams, who is playing with a sore right foot, scored 12 points and had nine assists for Utah.
The Kings (4-9) have lost eight of nine. DeMarcus Cousins led Sacramento with 18 points. Carl Landry scored 12 points and Tyreke Evans added 11.
The Kings' only win in the last nine games was an 86-81 victory at home against New Jersey on Friday. Sacramento has scored 100 points only twice in this stretch of nine games.
Utah coach Jerry Sloan returned to the team after missing the last two games to attend the funeral of a family member.
