WASHINGTON, March 27 (UPI) -- Carlos Boozer and Mehmet Okur each pumped in 22 points, powering the Utah Jazz to a 103-87 victory over Washington Saturday.

Boozer grabbed 10 boards and distributed six assists, Okur hauled down a team-high 11 rebounds and Deron Williams contributed 20 points and 12 assists as the Jazz handed the Wizards their franchise-record 15th straight loss.

The win enabled Utah to pull within a half-game of Denver in the race for first in the Northwest Division as well as in the contest for second place in the Western Conference standings.

Washington was led by Andray Blatche with 20 points, seven assists and five rebounds while Nick Young added 16 points. The Wizards haven't won since Feb. 28 at New Jersey.
