SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- Mehmet Okur scored 24 points, eight in the final two minutes, to lead the Utah Jazz to a 102-92 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers on Tuesday night.
Carlos Boozer had 26 points and 10 rebounds and Deron Williams added 21 points in Utah's first game back home after going 3-2 on a five-game Eastern Conference road trip before Christmas.
After Corey Maggette made a pair of free throws to cut the lead to 87-84 with 2:53 to play, Gordan Giricek and Okur hit back-to-back 3-pointers.
Maggette, who had 19 points for the Clippers, made a driving basket, but Utah answered with Boozer's tip-in and another 3-pointer by Okur.
Okur missed his first five 3-point attempts, but has come through from behind the arc late in games on a number of occasions this season.
Elton Brand scored 21 points for the Clippers, who fell to 1-30 at the EnergySolutions Arena, formerly the Delta Center. The Clippers' only win here was 96-89 on Jan. 22, 2003.
Andrei Kirilenko left the game with 5:51 in the second quarter due to a mild concussion and did not return. The Jazz forward, who lost part of a tooth in last week's game at Charlotte, took a shoulder to the head on Maggette's drive to the basket.
