AUBURN HILLS, Mich. — The Utah Jazz aren't just suddenly a good road team. They're a good come-from-behind road team now, too.
For the second game in a row, the Jazz rallied from an early double-digit deficit en route to another win away from Utah. Two days after shocking New Jersey, the Jazz stunned Detroit in double overtime with a 120-114 victory.
The win improved the Jazz record to 17-11 overall and 7-7 on the road. It was also the seventh straight win over Detroit for Utah, which trailed 29-19 after the first quarter.
The Jazz got huge games from three starters, including a 26-point, 12-point outing from former Detroit player Mehmet Okur. Deron Williams led Utah in scoring with 29 points on 11-for-18 shooting and also dished out eight assists.
It took two overtime periods to get there, but Paul Millsap extended his league-best double-double streak to 14 games with 24 points and 13 rebounds.
Allen Iverson topped Detroit with 38 points and Rip Hamilton added 30, including a shot at the end of the fourth quarter that forced overtime.
Detroit finished the game without Hamilton, Rasheed Wallace, Rodney Stuckey and Antonio McDyess, who all fouled out.
Millsap gave the Jazz a 3-point edge with a pair of free throws with 1:10 remaining in double overtime. Kyle Korver only had six points, but three of those came at a timely moment as he drilled a 3-pointer to put Utah up 116-112 with 41.2 seconds remaining.
Andrei Kirilenko then helped clinch the win with a pair of free throws. He finished with 12 points and six rebounds.
Ronnie Brewer added 14 points for Utah, which travels to play Chicago on Saturday night.
