Jazz In Tune On Road; Rip Sixers
Philadelphia, PA (AHN) – All-Star point guard Deron Williams was not available Friday, but the Utah Jazz still handed the Philadelphia 76ers a 112-90 setback.
Carlos Boozer pumped in 24 points and grabbed 12 rebounds and Erik Maynor had 13 points and 11 assists to fill the gap for Williams.
The Jazz guard had to tend to a family matter, but Williams’ mates still took care of business particularly on the defensive end.
Utah trailed 32-30 after one quarter, but held Philly to just 38 points in the second and third quarters combined to forge a 82-69 lead heading into the fourth.
Wes Matthews added 16 points for the Jazz, while Mehmet Okur had 15.
Philly starters Andre Iguodala and Lou Williams combined to shoot just 7-of-22 field goals to hurt the Sixers’ cause.
Thaddeus Young led Philly with 17 points as the 76ers went to their bench early and often.
Utah improved to 4-5, while Philly slipped to 4-5.
