INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — Al Jefferson scored 30 points, and the Utah Jazz snapped a five-game losing streak with a 95-84 victory over the Indiana Pacers on Friday night.

Paul Millsap had 23 points and a season-high 18 rebounds for the Jazz, who won for the first time after four consecutive losses under interim coach Tyrone Corbin.

Jefferson shot 14 of 26 from the field for the Jazz, who never trailed after the first quarter and controlled momentum throughout.

Danny Granger scored 17 points for the Pacers, who overcame an early 11-point deficit, but could never take the lead in the second half while struggling from the field throughout the game.

Jefferson scored 16 points in the fourth quarter, during which the Jazz led by double digits much of the final six minutes.
