SALT LAKE CITY – Derek Fisher scored 17 of his 21 points in the second half and Carlos Boozer had 16 points and 10 rebounds to lead the Utah Jazz to a 105-87 win over the Boston Celtics on Saturday night.
Boozer had a double-double in his second game back after missing eight with a hairline fracture in his leg and the Jazz swept Boston for the first time since 1998.
Deron Williams finished with 10 assists and helped lead Utah’s rally in the third quarter after Boston narrowed a 15-point margin down to one but never quite caught the Jazz, who were without starters Mehmet Okur (back) and Andrei Kirilenko (knee).
Paul Pierce had 19 points to lead the Celtics, who have lost 22 of 23.
