SALT LAKE CITY (AP)—Ty Lawson had 23 points and nine assists in one of his most prolific NBA performances in his rookie season and the Denver Nuggets bested the Utah Jazz, 105-95, despite the absence of two key contributors. Chauncey Billups and Carmelo Anthony were both out of the Nuggets’ lineup, but George Karl’s squad still managed to put together a solid performance as they made 51 percent of their shots on the evening and took complete control with a solid 3rd Quarter which saw them increase their lead to double digits, which held for virtually the remainder of the game. Carlos Boozer had 18 points and 10 rebounds in the loss for the lackluster Jazz, which dropped them to 18-15 on the season. The win improved the Nuggets to 21-12, but of greater importance, it kept them atop the Northwest Division standings.
