Mehmet Okur had the go-ahead basket with 1:16 to play and finished with 18 points and 12 rebounds for the Jazz, who opened a difficult four-game road trip by winning at Madison Square Garden for the first time since Feb. 20, 2004.

Deron Williams was limited to 5 points but had 16 assists. Utah, which earned its first road victory of the season, visits Boston tomorrow and wraps up the trip Saturday night at Cleveland.

Rookie Toney Douglas scored a season-high 21 points for the Knicks, who nearly dug their way out of another huge deficit with a big fourth-quarter rally. But he missed just before the buzzer, sending New York (1-7) to its fourth straight loss.

Wilson Chandler scored 17 points, and Larry Hughes and David Lee each had 12 for the Knicks.

Spurs 131, Raptors 124 - Manu Ginobili scored 36 points without Tim Duncan and Tony Parker in the lineup to lift host San Antonio.

Ginobili hit four 3-pointers in the fourth quarter and the Spurs somehow shook the rust off their sputtering offense with their two leading scorers sidelined.

Duncan and Parker sat out with ankle injuries and are listed as day-to-day. Richard Jefferson had 24 and George Hill added 22 for San Antonio.

Suns 119, 76ers 115 - Jason Richardson scored 29 points, Steve Nash added 21 points and tied his season-high with 20 assists, and Phoenix beat host Philadelphia.

The Suns eclipsed the 100-point barrier for the eighth straight game to open a season, which hadn’t happened since the 1990-91 season.

Jared Dudley contributed 18, Amar’e Stoudemire added 17, Grant Hill had 11, and Channing Frye 10 for the high-flying Suns, who entered averaging a league-high 109.7 points per game.

Andre Iguodala scored 24 points, Marreese Speights added 20, Thaddeus Young had 15, and Lou Williams 13 for the Sixers (3-4). Elton Brand also had 10 for Philadelphia.

Warriors 146, Timberwolves 105 - Kelenna Azubuike scored a season-high 31 points and Anthony Randolph added 23 to help host Golden State rout Minnesota.

Stephen Jackson had 10 points and a career-high 15 assists while Monte Ellis had 18 points with 10 rebounds to lead the Warriors to their most lopsided win in more than a year.

Hornets 112, Clippers 84 - Chris Paul had 24 points and 10 assists on a sore ankle, Devin Brown scored 25 points and New Orleans bounced right back from a blowout loss with a victory in Los Angeles.

David West added 17 points and nine rebounds in just New Orleans’ second win in six games.

Chris Kaman had 14 points and six rebounds for the Clippers, who lost their 10th straight to New Orleans, including six in Los Angeles.
