HOUSTON, Feb. 16 (UPI) -- Mehmet Okur's 21 points, eight rebounds and four blocked shots paced the Utah Jazz to a 104-95 triumph over Houston Tuesday.
Paul Millsap had 20 points and 12 rebounds, and Deron Williams had 17 points and 15 assists for Utah, which won for the 10th time in 11 games. Andrei Kirilenko and Carlos Boozer each contributed 12 points in the victory, which saw the Jazz shoot 51.9 percent from the floor.
Houston got 18 points apiece from Aaron Brooks and David Andersen, while Trevor Ariza added 15 points and Luis Scola netted 14 points and grabbed six boards in the loss.
The Rockets pulled to within 93-90 on an Andersen 3-pointer with 4:41 to go, but could only get one more field goal after that, as Utah won going away on a 14-2 run -- highlighted by Kirilenko's steal and slam for a 96-93 Utah lead with just over 2 minutes left.
