PORTLAND, Ore. Martell Webster had a career-high 26 points, 24 in the third quarter alone, and the Portland Trail Blazers got their revenge against Utah by beating the Jazz 103-89 on Saturday night.
Earlier this week, the Jazz snapped a 13-game Portland winning streak with a 111-101 victory in Salt Lake City.
The Blazers, who led by as many as 20 points, have won three straight since the streak-stopping loss. They have lost just one of their last 17 games.
Portland has a 10-game winning streak at the Rose Garden and is 15-3 at home overall.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 20 points, and the Blazers played most of the game without star guard Brandon Roy, out because of a sore tailbone.
Deron Williams had 23 points for the Jazz, who have lost three of their last five.
Utah was without forward Andrei Kirilenko, who did not travel with the team because of lower back inflammation.
