INDIANAPOLIS — The Utah Jazz prefer not to think about their longest winning streak since 1999.

Mehmet Okur's 24 points helped the Jazz beat the Indiana Pacers, 112-100, last night for their 12th straight victory, moving them one game closer to the franchise record of 15 straight set twice during the 1996-97 season.

"Don't jinx us," Utah forward Carlos Boozer said.

Longtime Jazz coach Jerry Sloan wasn't talking about 15, either.

"I don't pay much attention to that," he said. "We'll just try to keep going day by day."

Utah's next three games are at Atlanta, Miami and Orlando.

"We're going to set our sights high," Boozer said. "The thing about our streak is that we've been able to take it one day at a time. Today, we had to focus on Indiana."

T.J. Ford's jumper with 7 minutes left tied the score at 90, but the Jazz answered with a 16-4 run over the next three minutes to pull away.

"They're the hottest team in the league and we just couldn't get the stops coming down the stretch," said Pacers forward Troy Murphy, who finished with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
