Mehmet Okur scored 14 of his 31 points in the fourth quarter, including eight in the final minute to lead the Utah Jazz over the San Antonio Spurs 97-93 Wednesday night.
Okur also pulled down 11 of Utah's 50 rebounds and Deron Williams added 14 points and seven assists for the Jazz, who had lost two straight.
Paul Millsap added 15 points and eight rebounds just hours after the Jazz learned Carlos Boozer, their leading scorer and rebounder, could miss a month with a broken bone in his leg.
Tim Duncan had 25 points and 12 rebounds and Tony Parker scored 27 points for the Spurs, who rallied from 12 points down and took two brief leads down the stretch before Okur carried Utah to the win.
Manu Ginobili and Robert Horry scored 10 apiece for the Spurs, who had just 32 rebounds - 18 fewer than Utah.
Utah improved to 2-1 against San Antonio this season and can get no worse than a split with the Spurs, who swept the Jazz five of the last six seasons.
