SEATTLE (Ticker) -- Carlos Boozer was silent in the first half,but awoke in time to send the Seattle SuperSonics to their worststart in franchise history. Boozer scored 22 of his 27 points in the second half and hit thegame-winning layup with 17.6 seconds left as the Utah Jazzposted a 103-101 victory over the SuperSonics on Friday. Boozer, who shot 10-of-19 from the floor, also grabbed 15rebounds. Deron Williams added 14 points and 11 assists forUtah, which has won two straight. It was Boozer's sixthdouble-double in the club's six games played so far. Andrei Kirilenko had 10 points, 11 assists and eight rebounds aswell as a key block that sealed the win. Seattle rookie Kevin Durant scored 20 points, stole an in-boundspass and had a chance to tie the game at the buzzer, but hisshot was blocked by Kirilenko. Fellow rookie Jeff Green scored 19 points off the bench forSeattle, which is 0-6 for the first time since 1969-70. "They (the Sonics) played really hard," Utah coach Jerry Sloansaid. "They've got a young team - a nice, young team that'sworking hard. It's hard to play them. The fans got behindthem, pushed them and gave them a little energy. They did anice job." Even though it was another disappointing loss, Seattle coachP.J. Carlesimo chose to remain positive about his strugglingteam's effort. "I thought our guys played great," Carlesimo said. "To comefrom behind the way we did from the first half when they lookedlike they were going to get away from us, we did a lot of goodthings." It was a hotly contested fourth quarter that featured four leadchanges with neither team holding a lead of more than fourpoints. "We made some mistakes, but we corrected them," Boozer saidabout the wild fourth quarter. "AK (Kirilenko) had a greatgame. He almost had a triple-double." Boozer scored 12 points in the final period and combined for apick-and-roll with Williams for the winning hoop. "It's tough to run a pick-and-roll like Boozer and Deron did ifyou haven't been together for a while," Sloan said. "That'swhat basketball is all about, developing continuity with yourplayers." That came after Durant, who shot just 7-of-21 from the floor,tied the game at 101-101 with an off-balance floater with 1:00left. The Sonics actually had a chance to take the lead after RonnieBrewer turned the ball over, but Delonte West gave it right backon a failed pick-and-roll as his pass was stolen by Williamswith 30 seconds left. Seattle trailed for most of the game before Nick Collison forgeda 78-78 tie with 10:26 left in the fourth. It was the firsttie since 2-2, and the Sonics then took their first lead since2-0 when Durant converted a three-point play with 10:19remaining to make the score 81-80. "I think all we need is one game to turn this thing around,"said forward Chris Wilcox, who finished with 17 points and sixrebounds. "We've been in every game so far. It was toughtonight. We all played hard and we all contributed and that'sall you can ask for."
