SALT LAKE CITY, February 24, 2010 (AP) – Carlos Boozer scored 20 of his 33 points in the second half to help the Utah Jazz beat the Charlotte Bobcat,s 102-93, on Wednesday night.

Utah outscored Charlotte 31-16 in the third quarter to erase an 11-point halftime deficit, then put it away with a 17-7 spurt that blew open a two-point game midway through the fourth quarter.

Deron Williams added 20 points and 12 assists, and Kyle Korver had 18 points for the Jazz, including two 3-pointers during the fourth-quarter run.

Gerald Wallace scored 27 points for Charlotte, and Tyrus Thomas had 20 — the most in his four games since being acquired in a trade with Chicago.

Charlotte coach Larry Brown was ejected with 3:44 remaining after receiving two technical fouls for arguing after a foul call.

Utah has won 14 of its last 16 games to move within a half-game of Northwest Division-leading Denver. The Jazz are 23-8 at home.

Wallace had 18 points in the first half as Charlotte showed little effects from playing Tuesday night — a 98-94 road loss to the Los Angeles Clippers. Steven Jackson shook off a 1-for-16 shooting effort the previous night to score 16 points.
