SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 29 (UPI) -- Mehmet Okur paced eight players in double figures Friday and Utah pulled away in the second half to crush Sacramento 120-94.

Okur had 20 points and 12 rebounds. Ronnie Brewer and C.J. Miles contributed 18 each.

Utah, which began the evening in a three-way tie for first place in the Northwest Division, improved to 8-1 at home this year.

John Salmons scored 20 for Sacramento, which has lost five straight and eight out of nine.

The game was tied at halftime, but Utah began the third quarter by scoring 13 straight points. Okur had seven of those and hit a three-pointer to finish the run and give the Jazz a 63-50 advantage.
