    Boozer and Okur each recorded double-doubles as the Jazz kept alive their playoff hopes by pulling away for a 104-83 victory over the Denver Nuggets.
    Boozer had 25 points and 13 rebounds and Okur 24 and 10 for Utah (39-39), which won its fourth straight and pulled within 1 1/2 games of Sacramento (41-38) for the Western Conference's final playoff berth with four contests left.
    It still will be a battle for the Jazz to make the postseason since they have an upcoming three-game road trip with contests against the New Orleans Hornets, Dallas and San Antonio before closing the season at home against Golden State.
    "This road trip is basically going to make or break us," Boozer said. "We've got to hopefully take this momentum on the road. All three of those games are going to be tough, because they're all fighting, too." </div>
