MADRID (AP) -- Paul Millsap scored 20 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a 109-87 victory over Real Madrid on Thursday in the finale of the NBA's preseason European tour.
Point guard Deron Williams added 16 at the Palacio de los Deportes stadium as the Jazz bounced back from Tuesday's one-point loss to the Chicago Bulls in London.
The victory put the NBA back on even-footing in Spain after having lost two of its last three matches in the country.
