Jazz Get Much Needed Win, Top Spurs 113-99

Carlos Boozer added 27 points and 14 rebounds for the Jazz, who snapped a two- game skid. They blew a 16-point lead in the fourth quarter at Dallas Tuesday night, when Dirk Nowitzki went nuts by scoring 29 of his 40 points in the final frame, on the way to a 96-85 Utah loss. Utah also fell apart in the fourth quarter of a 113-96 home loss to Houston on Monday.

“For us we’ve got to finish off games like we did tonight,” stated Boozer. “We came back and got a great effort. We should have won both of those games (Houston and Dallas). We’ve got to finish off games. Tonight we came back; everyone had a good effort, especially at the defensive end.”
