 SALT LAKE CITY (AP) - Whether it was the old ball or the new year, the Utah Jazz needed a half to adjust. The Jazz rallied after shooting 34 percent in the first half by going 20-for-38 in the second and beat the travel-weary Philadelphia 76ers 98-87 Wednesday night.
Carlos Boozer scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and Matt Harpring had 12 of his 20 in the third quarter as the Jazz started to go inside on the Sixers, who have been on the road since Dec. 26.
"We had a lot more energy in the second half all around, I think getting out and running really helped us because it opens everything up and puts pressure on them and we get a good flow," said Deron Williams, whose 14 assists for the Jazz were one off his career high.
