PHOENIX, March 8 (UPI) -- Deron Williams and Mehmet Okur scored 25 points apiece Friday to lead the Utah Jazz past Phoenix 126-118.
Williams also handed out 15 assists and Okur pulled down 14 rebounds for the Jazz, which has won four straight. Carlos Boozer scored 23 and Kyle Korver had 14 points.
Amare Stoudemire had 37 points and eight rebounds, and Shaquille O'Neal scored 20 for the Suns, who have lost two straight games. Steve Nash had 17 points and 15 assists and Raja Bell hit five three-pointers and finished with 19 points.
Stoudemire got the Suns to within 118-117 on a three-point play with 1:25 left to play, but Williams put the Jazz back up 120-117 with a baseline jumper. O'Neal was fouled on the next Phoenix possession, but made only one of two shots -- and the Jazz sealed the victory when Boozer scored with just over 30 seconds left to play.
