Utah Jazz guard Deron Williams (#8) goes to the basket against New Orleans Hornets forward David West, left, during the second half of their game, played Monday night. Williams scored 29 points, leading Utah to the win over New Orleans 110-88.

?The New Orleans Hornets may as well have stayed home; the Utah Jazz on Monday dominated the Hornets almost from the tip-off - including a franchise record 14 three-pointers - as they emerged victorious over the Hornets 110-88 at Energy Solutions Arena.? The Hornets’ Chris Paul, an All-Star pick this year, was completely outplayed by the Jazz’ Deron Williams, while Utah shot 50.6% from the field.

The aforementioned Williams scored 12 points in the third period as the Jazz stretched their lead from 11 to as much as 22; Williams also leaped around the Hornets’ Tyson Chandler for a dunk to put Utah up 59-41 with 9:34 in the third period.? Williams would add a 3? about a minute later to push Utah’s lead to 64-44.? The Jazz’ Kyle Korver opened the fourth quarter with 4 straight three-pointers during a 15-4 run.? The Hornets didn’t challenge from that point on.

Utah was led by Williams with 29 points, 3 rebounds, 11 assists and a steal; Korver from off the bench scored 20, including 6 treys.? Carlos Boozer added a double-double with 19 and 17 rebounds.? New Orleans was led by reserve Jannero Pargo with 24 points, including 3 treys; Morris Peterson scored 16, while Peja Stojakovic and Davis West added 12 points apiece.? Utah (31-18) makes the journey to Denver to face the Nuggets on Wednesday night, while New Orleans (32-15) flies to Arizona to take on the Suns - also on Wednesday.
