SALT LAKE CITY, Jan. 24 (UPI) -- Carlos Boozer scored 22 points and Mehmet Okur added 20 to lead the Utah Jazz to a 116-83 thumping of the New Jersey Nets Saturday.
Utah dominated down low, scoring 70 points in the paint, and shot 61.1 percent from the field while sending the Nets to their 11th loss in a row.
The Jazz led 60-42 at halftime and 94-63 after the third quarter, in which Boozer scored 10 points.
"It looked like we were having a lot of fun playing together tonight," said Jazz Coach Jerry Sloan. "We were trying to help each other out defensively. We also passed the basketball and that makes everybody happier."
