SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Carlos Boozer had 27 points and 14 rebounds, Deron Williams just missed his career high with 14 assists, and the Utah Jazz beat the travel-weary Philadelphia 76ers 98-87 Wednesday night.
Utah didn't shoot well in its first game since the NBA brought back the leather ball, but after a cold first half the Jazz were good enough in the second to outlast the Sixers, who played in Denver the night before and have been on the road since Dec. 26.
Matt Harpring scored 12 of his 20 points in the third quarter and Mehmet Okur scored 27, going 10-for-10 from the line. Derek Fisher added 12 points for the Jazz.
