NASHVILLE, Tenn.(AP) _ Antoine Walker and Kenny Anderson triggered a 6-0 run in overtime, and the Boston Celtics beat the Utah Jazz 108-104 in preseason game Wednesday.

With the Jazz leading 100-99, Walker scored on a baseline layup with 1:40 left in the extra session and was fouled by Utah's Rick Hughes.

Walker made the free throw and Boston was on top 102-100. Anderson then canned a 3-pointer from the top of the key.

Anderson had sent the game into overtime when his jumper from the right side with 9.6 seconds left in the fourth quarter tied the score at 93.

It was the second overtime game in as many nights for Boston, and the first of the preseason for Utah.

Utah's Karl Malone missed his fourth consecutive game with a lower back strain, and Jeff Hornacek sat out his second of the preseason with a strained right quadricep.

Boston's Antoine Walker led all scorers with 25. Paul Pierce added 22. Bryon Russell had 22 to pace the Jazz.

The Celtics led 45-44 at halftime. Pierce scored 13 before the break, on 6-of-7 shooting.

The Jazz took a 61-54 lead midway through the third quarter on a layup by Adam Keefe. Boston cut its deficit to 72-70 entering the fourth.

The Celtics' Dana Barros hit from the baseline to tie the game at 72 to open the final quarter.

A 13-6 fourth-quarter Jazz run was highlighted by six points from Russell. Utah led 88-81 before Boston went on a 10-0 run to go up 91-88 with 1:31 left in regulation.
