Boozer, Jazz dominate reeling Wizards

Basketball Betting Lines

03/16/2010 - Salt Lake City, UT (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Carlos Boozer led the way with 23 points and nine rebounds, and the Jazz sent the reeling Wizards to their eighth consecutive defeat, 112-89, at EnergySolutions Arena.

Deron Williams added 17 points and 11 assists, but sat out the fourth quarter for the Jazz after landing awkwardly in the waning moments of the third. Sundiata Gaines totaled 15 points as the Jazz had seven players score in double figures.

Mehmet Okur returned from a one-game absence due to a strained back and had 14 points for the Jazz, who snapped a two-game skid but won for the fifth time in seven contests.

Andray Blatche had 24 points for the Wizards, who haven't won since February 28 at New Jersey. Mike Miller recorded 14 points and 10 rebounds for Washington, which shot just 36.9 percent from the field.

Miller's layup moved the Wizards to a 9-6 lead, the largest Washington saw all night. Okur's three-pointer capped a small Jazz run for a 13-9 edge, although the teams went into the second even at 25.

Utah turned it on in the second, going 14-of-19 from the field to take a decided advantage after 24 minutes. Conversely, Washington went 7-of-22 in the period.

A three-pointer from Wesley Matthews expanded Utah to a 53-43 lead inside two minutes left and it was 59-45 at the break, thanks in part to Boozer's nine points in the quarter.

It got worse for the Wizards in the third, a period that saw them make just 3-of-22 shots from the field. That performance allowed the Jazz to dominate to the tune of 31-15 scoring in the quarter.

Okur's three-pointer widened the lead to 71-47 with 7:18 left in the stanza and the difference reached as high as 34 in the period. The only moment of trepidation came when Williams drove in for a layup try with 1.2 seconds left in the quarter, but came down in odd fashion. He slowly left the floor and sat while the Jazz concluded the quarter up 90-60. They were never threatened in the fourth.

Game Notes

The Jazz have won 19 of their last 22 home games against the Wizards...The Jazz played without Andrei Kirilenko (strained left calf) and Ronnie Price (sprained right wrist)...Utah has won six of the last eight meetings...Kyle Korver scored 11 and Paul Millsap had 10 for Utah.
