Seattle (8-9) at Utah (8-11) 9:00 pm EST
SALT LAKE CITY (Ticker) - Despite their problems in the past
couple of seasons, the Utah Jazz usually have found a way to
beat the Seattle SuperSonics at home.
The Jazz try to post consecutive home victories for the first
time this season when they battle the SuperSonics on Friday.
Looking for its third victory in four games overall, Utah has
won nine of the last 10 home encounters against Seattle dating
to the 1999-2000 campaign. The lone defeat during that stretch
was last December 27.
Matt Harpring made 13-of-17 shots to score 30 points and Mehmet
Okur added 17 points as the Jazz snapped a four-game home losing
streak with Wednesday's 95-83 triumph over the woeful Atlanta
Hawks.
The SuperSonics had a three-game winning streak snapped in
Tuesday's 104-101 loss to the New York Knicks. Ray Allen scored
25 points and Vladimir Radmanovic added 23 for Seattle, which
failed to hold a 10-point first-quarter lead as it fell to 0-3
this season when trying to move above .500.
Okur scored 24 points as the Jazz recorded a 93-87 win over the
SuperSonics in their first meeting of the campaign November 22.
