"He knows that's his strength. He's always known that," the Jazz coach said. "And he has a wonderful shot. He's not missing it by four or five feet, just not getting it to the basket. He's up around the rim where it should be. He's just not getting the ball in the basket."

HART OUT MONDAY: Jazz backup point guard Jason Hart played Saturday and accompanied the club back to Utah but won't be with the team for Monday's home game against New Jersey due to the death of his maternal grandmother in his native Los Angeles.

With Hart out, No. 3 point Ronnie Price should back up Williams.

Hart is expected to re-join the Jazz for Friday's game against New Orleans, their next outing after Monday.

GAME CHANGE: Start time for the Jazz's Nov. 30 home game against the Los Angeles Lakers has been changed from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. because of an ESPN programming decision. It replaces the Los Angeles Clippers at Denver on ESPN's national schedule.
