Jazz clinch Northwest title
Associated Press
Published in The Saudi Gazette on 10 - 04 - 2008

Mehmet Okur had 22 points and 17 rebounds to help the Utah Jazz clinch the Northwest Division and snap the New Orleans Hornets' 11-game home winning streak, 77-66 on Tuesday night.
Deron Williams had 16 assists and outplayed Chris Paul as the Jazz took a 20-point lead early in the fourth quarter and cruised from there, holding New Orleans to its lowest point total of the season. Peja Stojakovic scored 15 points for New Orleans, which shot a woeful 3-of-14 on 3-pointers and 37 percent overall as its five-game winning streak came to an end. David West had 14 points.
Paul had a rare off night, finishing with nine assists and only four points on 2-of-11 shooting.
Nuggets 117, Clippers 99: At Los Angeles, Carmelo Anthony scored 36 points, Allen Iverson added 21 points, seven rebounds and nine assists, and Denver routed Los Angeles to keep pace in the Western Conference playoff race.
Warriors 140, Kings 132: At Oakland, California, Baron Davis had 33 points and nine assists, Stephen Jackson added 20 points, and Golden State stayed in the frantic Western Conference playoff race with its highest-scoring game of the season.
Andris Biedrins had 17 points and 17 rebounds for the Warriors (47-31), who are tied with the Denver Nuggets for the eighth postseason spot in the power-packed West, where one club is certain to end up with the best record in NBA history for a non-playoff team.
Pacers 112, Hawks 98: At Indianapolis, Mike Dunleavy scored 28 points, and Indiana beat Atlanta to avoid elimination from the Eastern Conference playoff race.
A win by the Hawks would have knocked the Pacers from playoff contention, and Atlanta would have needed just one win or a New Jersey loss the rest of the way to clinch a berth. Instead, the Pacers are just two games behind the Hawks for the eighth spot.
Trail Blazers 112, Lakers 103: At Portland, Brandon Roy scored 23 points and matched his career high with 12 assists, and Portland held off Los Angeles.
Celtics 107, Bucks 104, OT: At MIlwaukee, the Big Three were back to build a big lead, but the reserves coughed it up and forced Boston to use overtime to beat Milwaukee for its seventh straight victory.
Suns 127, Grizzlies 113: At Memphis, Tennessee, Amare Stoudemire had 28 points and 11 rebounds, and Phoenix beat Memphis despite playing without Shaquille O'Neal, who had a right hip contusion.
Mavericks 99, SuperSonics 83: At Dallas, Jason Terry scored 22 points, Josh Howard added 17, and Dallas crept closer to a playoff berth while sending Seattle to its club-record 60th loss.
Knicks 98, Pistons 94: At Auburn Hills, Michigan, Wilson Chandler scored all of his 19 points in the first half, and New York built a huge lead and beat Detroit.
Bobcats 121, Timberwolves 119: At Charlotte, North Carolina, Jason Richardson scored 36 points and Charlotte avoided a collapse against one of the league's worst teams to hold off Minnesota.
Heat 95, Bulls 88: At Miami, Kasib Powell scored 18 points in his first game back from the NBA Development League, and Miami beat Chicago to snap a seven
