Gilbert Arenas scored 29 points and Hughes finished with 25, including what proved to be the game-winner.

Matt Harpring had 18 points and six assists off the bench for Utah, which lost forward Andrei Kirilenko for the season when he broke his left wrist early in the first quarter. Raja Bell had 10 points and 10 rebounds for the Jazz.

In Sacramento, California, Peja Stojakovic hit six 3-pointers on the way to a season-high 38 points, and an energized Sacramento avoided a regular-season sweep by Dallas.

Mike Bibby had 17 points and eight assists, while Kenny Thomas scored 15 points and teamed with Darius Songaila to hold Dirk Nowitzki to nine of his 35 points in the fourth quarter.

For the first time in several weeks, Stojakovic played a full game with the same confidence and flair that made him the NBA's second-leading scorer last season. The inconsistent Serbian forward had just his third 30-point game of the season while grabbing nine rebounds and making all 14 of his free throws.
