Thompson scores 23 points, including the 17,000th of his career, as Mavericks beat the Jazz 138-120 | Sports

DALLAS (AP) — Klay Thompson scored all 23 of his points in the first half, including the 17,000th of his career, and six Mavericks scored in double figures in a 138-120 win over Utah on Saturday night as Dallas completed a two-game sweep of the Jazz. Dallas and Utah have played three times in 10 days. Utah won at home on January 8, 114-112. Dallas won 144-122 on Thursday. The Mavericks were without Cooper Flagg (left ankle sprain) for a second straight game and the first injury absences of his rookie season. Dallas was also missing Anthony Davis (finger) and Kyrie Irving (knee) and forward P.J. Washington for personal reasons. The rest of the Mavericks proved to be more than enough against the Jazz for a second straight game. Thompson, coming off the bench, had a pair of 3-pointers and then hit a turnaround jumper in the lane with just under five minutes left in the first quarter to reach the 17,000-point plateau. He shot 7 for 12 overall and 6 for 11 from 3-point distance and led the Mavs in scoring for the second straight game in Flagg’s absence after scoring a season-best 26 in Thursday’s win.

LOGAN, Utah – Utah State women’s basketball fell to Boise State, 76-60, on Saturday night at the Dee Glen Smith Spectrum.  Both teams struggled offensively in the early going before senior guard Karyn Sanford’s layup got the Aggies on the board at the 8:18 mark.
