Utah beats Golden State to go up 3-1 in series

Associated Press

OAKLAND, Calif. -- Carlos Boozer had 34 points and 12 rebounds as the Jazz handed the eighth-seeded Golden State Warriors their first home loss of the postseason, 115-101 tonight to put Utah up 3-1 in their second-round playoff series.

Derek Fisher scored 14 of his 21 points in the fourth quarter for the surprising Jazz, who can clinch their first trip to the conference finals since 1998 with a victory at home in Game 5 Tuesday night.

Deron Williams had 20 points and 13 assists as the Jazz finally solved the riddle of Oracle Arena, where the underdog Warriors won their first four playoff home games.

Al Harrington scored 24 points before fouling out, but Baron Davis had just 15 points and seven assists in the Warriors' first home loss in 10 games dating to the regular season.
