Utah wins against Houston
Ostertag, Stockton lead Jazz to eighth straight home win
The Associated Press
SALT LAKE CITY — Greg Ostertag had 11 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots as the Utah Jazz beat the Houston Rockets for the eighth straight time, 85-76. Sunday.
John Stockton scored six straight points in the closing minutes and Bryon Russell added 19 points as Utah won its sixth straight game and fourth in six days. The Rockets have not won a road game in April and are only 3-11 against teams with winning records this season.
Hakeem Olajuwon, who had 32 points in the teams' previous meeting 10 days ago, hit a jumper with 4:27 to play that pulled the Rockets within 71-66.
Olajuwon finished with 23 points but was limited in the post by a strong defensive game from Ostertag.
After Olajuwon's jumper, Stockton had six points and an assist in the next 2:23, keying a 10-3 Utah run that put the game away. The Jazz, who are 16-1 in the Delta Center this season, have won eight straight home games and 28 of their last 29.
All five Jazz starters finished scoring in double figures, though Utah shot only 36 per
cent for the game. Karl Malone, after averaging 33 points in his previous three games, was 6-for-16 from the field and scored 16 points.
With Brent Price out after knee surgery and Matt Maloney sick with the flu, rooklies Bryce Drew, Cuttino Mobley and Michael Dickerson played most of Houston's minutes at guard. The rookies were a combined 6-for-20 from the field.
Houston had only five field goals in the first quarter as the Jazz took a 24-12 lead, but Utah scored only five points in the first 9:23 of the second quarter. A 10-2 rally put Utah up 39-28 at the half.
The Jazz will finish a stretch of four home games in five days when they meet Vancouver Monday night.
Wizards defeat 76ers 105-98
Victory is first in NBA career for Washington head coach
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The first three quarters belonged to Allen Iverson. The fourth was the property of Rod Strickland.
And the victory goes to Jim Brovelli, his first as an NBA head coach, after the Washington Wizards broke a fivegame losing streak and rallied from a 13-point third-quarter deficit Sunday, beating the Philadelphia 76ers, 105-98.
Brovelli had been 0-3 after being named interim coach following Bernie Bickerstaff's dismissal last week. "They continued to fight and scrap and it paid off." Brovelli said.
Strickland led the way, scoring 10 of his 19 points in the final period and helping to hold Iverson without a point in the fourth until the game's final minute. Rookie Randell Jackson added 11 points in 16 minutes, all in the second half, and Mitch Richmond scored 24.
Iverson had 29 points after three quarters as the 76ers led by 11, but the NBA's leading scorer looked like a rookie again as he missed his next four shots and committed three fourth-quarter turnovers. The Wizards

outscored the 76ers 34-16 during the final 12 minutes
"He got out to a good start," Richmond said. "It was great that we kind of smothered him at the end."
Iverson finished with 32 points,10 rebounds and five assists as the 76ers had their three-game winning streak snapped.
Iverson's flashy layup turned into a 3-point play and capped 9-0 run that gave the 76ers the lead at 29-20. He later stole the ball from Strickland while Strickland was in midair attempting a jump shot and made an alley-oop pass to Larry Hughes that ended the half with an exclamation point.
we nad the game. We gave it to them," Iverson said. "I was getting good shots. I was just missing. And I took some bad shots with a hand in my face when I could have got better looks at the basket."
But Iverson started taking jumpers in the fourth, and he missed badly. He had a layup rejected by Jackson after the lead was cut to two, then had the ball batted away by Strickland about a minute later. Strickland then backed in on Iverson on the baseline for a short basket that tied the score at 87-87.
With 3:26 to go, Strickland's 3-point play after a two-handed scoop layup put the Wizards ahead for good at 92-91. Strickland's 3-point shot with 2:13 to play made it 97-91.
