SALT LAKE CITY (AP) – Carlos Boozer had to take a look at the box score before believing it.

It wasn't Boozer's 21 points and 15 rebounds that surprised him — it was Shaquille O'Neal's rebound numbers — or, rather, his rebound number.
Boozer and the Jazz got O'Neal and Steve Nash into early foul trouble and pulled away in the second half of a 109-97 win over Phoenix 109-97 on Monday night, holding O'Neal to a single rebound while dominating the boards 47-26.
“That gave us so many more possessions,” Boozer said. “It was all defense. We got stop after stop after stop.”
The Jazz had 17 offensive rebounds to Phoenix's five and outrebounded the Suns 16-6 in the fourth quarter.
Utah ended a three-game losing streak after going 1-4 on a road trip last week.
The Jazz again played without point guard Deron Williams and center Mehmet Okur, but even the short-handed lineup was too much for the Suns after O'Neal and Nash both picked up their fourth fouls early in the third quarter.
In the only other NBA games Monday, Houston beat Oklahoma City 100-89 and San Antonio edged the Los Angeles Clippers 86-83.
Andrei Kirilenko added 19 points and two big blocks on O'Neal as Utah pulled away in the fourth quarter and improved to 5-0 at home. The Jazz had their highest-scoring game of the season without Williams, still recovering from a sprained ankle that's limited him to two games.
The Suns were sluggish one night after beating Detroit 104-86 in Phoenix and unraveled as Nash and O'Neal tried to avoid fouling out. Utah capitalized with 13 straight points during a 17-2 run that sealed it.
“Defensively we just had too many breakdowns,” Phoenix coach Terry Porter said. “One of their best offenses was just to shoot it and go get it.”
O'Neal finished with one rebound for just the second time in his career.
“I had two quick fouls, so I had to go to my finesse game,” O'Neal said.
C.J. Miles scored a season-high 21 points and Brevin Knight had six assists and 12 points, going 6-for-7 from the floor.
Coach Jerry Sloan was pleased with the performance, but seems perplexed as to why the Jazz can play so poorly on the road and so well at home just a few days later.
“Where's it been? That's the question I ask,” Sloan said. “They're expected to do that every night.”
Amare Stoudemire led Phoenix with 30 points and eight rebounds. Nash had 14 points and eight assists, but O'Neal finished with just nine points.
Rockets 100, Thunder 89
At Oklahoma City, Luis Scola scored 23 points, Yao Ming added 19 points and 12 rebounds, and Houston made a second-half surge without injured seven-time All-Star Tracy McGrady.
McGrady left the game in the opening minute of the second half after aggravating his surgically repaired left knee, but the Rockets were still able to mount a 14-3 run powered by Scola and Yao.
Kevin Durant had 29 points to lead the Thunder, Jeff Green scored 16 and Russell Westbrook added 14 points.
Spurs 86, Clippers 83
At Los Angeles, Roger Mason's 3-pointer with 8.4 seconds remaining lifted San Antonio to its third straight victory.
Tim Duncan had 20 points, 15 rebounds and six blocked shots. Michael Finley added 19 points for the short-handed Spurs, who have won nine straight and 17 of 18 over the Clippers.
Cuttino Mobley led the Clippers (1-9) with 18 points. Chris Kaman added 17 points and 13 rebounds, and Baron Davis had 11 points and eight assists, but shot just 5-of-17.
