Even though scoring has been up the last couple of seasons in the Association (Hallelujah!) most times if you shoot 50%(36-72) from the floor for the game, and score 106 points, you probably will walk off the hardwood with a victory. Not if your opponent has three players who record double-doubles (Carlos Boozer, Mehmet Okur, Deron Williams) as well as shooting 53.6% (45-84) as the Utah Jazz did on Tuesday. End result was not only a loss for the Charlotte Bobcats, they got routed 128-106 by the Utah Jazz.

The two teams played a tight first quarter as the Jazz were up by three points at the?end of the period 27-24. Three straight buckets by the?Bobcats and they were ahead 30-27 at the start of the second period.?The lead went back and forth until the 4:00 mark, then Utah started to break away.? The Jazz would have a 58-44 lead as the game reached the half. Charlotte again started the period with a run in the third scoring the first eight points of the quarter, and cutting the lead to 58-52. But the Bobcats soon fell?behind by double digits again, and at the end of the third it was Utah up by 20 points, 92-72.? Charlotte never threatened in the final?quarter.

Carlos Boozer led the parade for the Jazz as he scored 28 points, 13 boards, 3 assists, 2 blocks, 1 steal.? Mehmet Okur ?scored 20 points, 10?rebounds, 3 assists, 1 steal, 1 block, veteran Matt Harpring came off the bench and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, 2 assists.? Ronnie Brewer scored 16 points, 4 steals, 4 rebounds, 2 assists, Deron Williams scored 14 points, 15 assists,?4 rebounds, 2 steals. Kyle Korver scored 10 points, 2 rebounds, 2 steals, 1 assist.
