A poor man's Wally Szczerbiak is plenty good enough when the real one isn't available.

Utah's Matt Harpring, who shares many of the same characteristics as the Timberwolves' injured swingman, had a Szczerbiak kind of night in the Jazz's 95-77 victory over the Wolves on Friday night at the Delta Center. Harpring scored a career high for the second game in a row, topping his 30 points against the Clippers three nights earlier with 33.

The scrappy 6-foot-7 player hit 13 of 18 shots, nailed all four of Utah's three-pointers and grabbed nine rebounds.

A blue-collar, well-traveled fellow -- four teams in five seasons -- Harpring several times burned the Wolves' Kevin Garnett for sagging off him, but was just as pesky releasing quickly for fast-break buckets or tipping at missed Jazz shots for second-chance points and three of his team's 17 offensive boards.
