The Utah Jazz snapped a four-game losing streak with a dominant 128-96 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Thursday night. Ace Bailey led the way for the Jazz with 33 points, including seven 3-pointers, while Cody Williams scored 19 points before halftime. The Jazz used a big first-half run to build a 20-point lead by halftime and cruised to the win in the second half.

Why it matters

This win is an important bounce-back for the Jazz, who had lost four straight games prior to this matchup. The Bucks, on the other hand, suffered a lopsided defeat that snaps their own recent winning streak.

The details

The Jazz took control of the game in the first quarter, using a 21-9 run to build a double-digit lead. They extended that advantage to 20 points by halftime and were never seriously threatened in the second half, leading by as many as 37 points. In addition to Bailey's big scoring night, the Jazz got strong contributions from Cody Williams, Elijah Harkless, and Kyle Filipowski.
