Carlos Boozer had a rough shooting night, but came through when it mattered. After corralling the last of his 10 offensive and 20 total rebounds, Boozer connected on a short left-handed shot in the lane with 17 seconds on the clock to break a tie and give Utah a 1-0 series lead with a 116-112 Game 1 win over the visiting Warriors on Monday.

Deron Williams poured in 31 points and added eight assists for the Jazz, while Matt Harpring (21 points), Mehmet Okur (21), Boozer (17) and Andrei Kirilenko (13) also reached double digits. Regular starter Derek Fisher was inactive due to a personal family issue.

Golden State also had five players score in double figures, led by Baron Davis' 24. Golden State also got 21 apiece from Al Harrington and Jason Richardson, 20 from Matt Barnes, and 16 from Stephen Jackson.

The teams stay in Utah and will square off in Game 2 on Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET on TNT.
