PHILADELPHIA (Ticker) -- Carlos Boozer and Ronnie Brewer got theUtah Jazz back on the winning track on Wednesday, leading theJazz to a 106-95 victory over the Philadelphia 76ers.

Both played roles in a couple of key runs that allowed the Jazzto bounce back from Monday night's road loss to the New YorkKnicks.


"That was a heartbreaker," Boozer said of the loss at New York."We thought that we had enough to get over the hump and wedidn't. We came back tonight and we did enough to win the game."

Boozer scored 26 points and added seven rebounds and fourassists. Brewer had 19 points and Deron Williams added 15points and 15 assists.


"We didn't play the best that we could play," Boozer said."Sometimes when you play on the road, it can be ugly. We felt itwas ugly but, we got enough plays from enough guys to get awin,"


Brewer scored five points in a 13-2 run early in the firstquarter that Boozer capped with a lay up. Philadelphia respondedwith a 13-0 run of their own, tying the game on a basket byAndre Miller.


Boozer's lay-up would give the Jazz a 25-23 lead but the Sixersended the quarter on baskets by Reggie Evans and Andre Iguodalato take a 27-25 lead at the end of the first.


In the second quarter the Sixers pushed their lead to six on adunk by Andre Iguodala. Boozer fed Brewer for a lay-up thatcapped a 10-3 run that gave the Jazz a 37-36 lead with 5:00 toplay.


The Jazz closed the half with a 12-6 run that included a pair of<div class="pre">baskets from Boozer and a dunk by Andrei Kirilenko gave the</div>Jazz a 49-44 halftime lead. Boozer finished the first half with12 points.


Brewer's lay-up gave the Jazz a 54-44 lead with 11:06 to go inthe third quarter He scored a pair of baskets to push the Jazzlead to 13. The Jazz took it's biggest lead of the game on abasket by Deron Williams, a jumper that made it 67-53 with 5:34to go in the quarter.


"We have a very confident team," Boozer said. "We're confidentthat no matter at what point of the game, we're going to knockdown shots especially when it's time to win the game."

"Everything goes through D-Will (Williams) and Booze (Boozer),"Brewer said. "We just played off of them


<div class="pre">and we started hitting a lot of shots. A lot of guys</div>contributed and a lot of guys got easy shots."


Boozer scored 12 fourth quarter points including eight straightlate in the game after Philadelphia pulled to within five with6:48 to play.


"He's been able to score the ball wherever he is," Jazz coachJerry Sloan said. "He's very cleaver around the basket and heshoot's the ball very on the floor. He's got a lot of differentplaces where he can get shots. He shot the ball very well."

"I was trying to be aggressive," said Boozer who is shooting 71percent from the floor in the last four games. "Williams had 15assists tonight. When you have a point guard who is willing topass the ball to you, who have to be ready to finish it."

Iguodala scored 20 points and Andre Miller added 16 for the76ers, who were coming off a road win over the Milwaukee Buckson Tuesday. They have yet to consecutive games this season.

"The only thing that we didn't carry was a win," Iguodala said.<div class="pre">"We did OK until the fourth quarter We had a tough time</div>stopping the ball. Our rotation wasn't there."
