Mike Budenhlolzer will find something wrong with this game – but he’s going to have to look hard.

The Hawks dominated the Jazz from start to finish in a 118-85 victory Friday night at Philips Arena. Even the head coach had reason to smile after the most complete performance of the season.

“You don’t know coaches,” Budenholzer said when asked if it would be difficult to find fault in the win. “The assistants are telling me to relax sometimes. … We’ll look at it and find the positives and we’ll find a few things that we can improve on. I know I saw 17 offensive rebounds (for the Jazz) on the stat sheet.”

The Hawks (15-12, 11-4 home) won their third straight game to move to a season-best three games over .500. They have won six of the past seven games, including this fifth straight over the Jazz. It was the third straight game that the Hawks have scored 114 or more points.

Lou Williams finished with a game-high 25 points off the bench, including a career-tying six 3-pointers, and four steals. Al Horford added 23 points, on 11 of 15 shooting, in just 22 minutes. The center is averaging 23.6 points and 9.2 rebounds in the past five games.

“I just made shots - talking myself into making shots and playing with a lot more confidence. After having two points the other night, I got some extra shooting in. I was just concentrating on having a good game for the next one. I was glad that it was able to pay off.”

Paul Millsap showed little love for the team where he spent his first seven seasons. The forward had a double-double of 14 points and 10 rebounds. Kyle Korver extended his NBA-record streak to 96 games with a 3-pointer in the first quarter. Mike Scott added 11 points as all 12 available players scored for the Hawks.

“I have the ability to keep things in and not show any expressions,” Millsap said. “I was a little nervous at first. After I got the jitters off, I kept calm and just started playing basketball.”

The Jazz (7-22, 4-12 road), with the worst record in the Western Conference, have lost seven of the past 10 games. How bad are Jazz? If they were in much weaker Eastern Conference they would still have the second-worst record.

The Hawks limited the Jazz starters to a combined 33 points, only one reaching double figures. As a team the Hawks had 32 assists.

Trey Burke, who scored a career-high 30 points Wednesday, was held to just two points.

The Hawks led by 21 points, 55-34, at halftime as they started fast and didn’t let up.

Horford scored eight of the Hawks’ first 10 points. The Hawks led by as many as 14 in the first quarter as the Jazz shot a miserable 6 of 23 (26.1 percent).

The 34 first-half points allowed by the Hawks were a season-low for an opponent. They held the Raptors to 39 points on Nov. 1. The Jazz didn’t break the 39-point mark until four minutes into the third quarter.

The contributions were wide-spread. Ten of the 11 players who entered the game scored in the first half, led by Horford’s 14. Elton Brand had three blocks and Williams had three steals.

The Hawks pushed their lead to 31 points in the third quarter and never gave the Jazz a hint they could rally. Maintaining leads has been an area the Hawks have struggled with this season.

“No so much putting them away, but continue to play the way we’ve been playing – and continue to play with pace and continue to guard and continue to rebound,” Budenholzer said of the continued pressure. “Just do all the things that we did to establish the lead. That was something that we needed to improve on and tonight was a step forward in that direction.”

The Hawks next travel to Miami to face the Heat Monday.
