Webster scores 25 points as Trail Blazers beat Jazz 97-89

Martell Webster scored 25 points and the Portland Trail Blazers won on the road for just the second time this season, beating the Utah Jazz 97-89 on Tuesday night.

Portland played without leading scorer LaMarcus Aldridge, who did not travel with the team because of a foot injury, but Webster came up with his season scoring high and Jarrett Jack added 16 points as the Blazers won their fourth straight.

Brandon Roy also scored 16 for Portland, which is on its longest winning streak since winning five straight last December.

Carlos Boozer led Utah with 29 points and 13 rebounds and Paul Millsap scored 14 points for the Jazz, who have lost four straight.

Deron Williams was the only other Utah player to score in double figures, finishing with 11 points and nine assists.

Utah's offense didn't struggle nearly as much as the defense, which allowed eight 3-pointers. Webster was 5-for-8 from beyond the arc and Steve Blake hit two 3-pointers for the Blazers, who shot 59 percent in the first half.

The Blazers shot well enough to overcome getting outrebounded 50-37 and turning the ball over 20 times. Portland's shooting cooled off in the second half, but was still good enough to hold off Utah's rally in the fourth quarter.

Millsap beat the buzzer with a fadeaway jumper that got Utah within 78-66 at the end of the third. The Jazz scored the final six points of the quarter, then opened the fourth with a 9-2 run.

Jason Hart started it by beating the shot clock with a 3-pointer, then Millsap spun free for a layup that cut the lead to 78-71 with 9:54.

Gordan Giricek and Harpring grabbed offensive rebounds on the same possession and Harpring got the ball inside to Millsap for another layup that got Utah within 80-75 and the fans who were booing just a period before were roaring. Giricek and Harpring hit 3-pointers to cut the lead to 85-81 with 6:03 remaining.

But the Jazz faded from there and Portland slowly pulled away to seal it and improve to 2-9.
