Deron Williams hit a game-tying 3-pointer late in the fourth quarter and found Raja Bell for the go-ahead layup seconds later, leading the Utah Jazz to a 102-96 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Friday night.
Kobe Bryant scored 14 of his 31 points in a span of 2:25 in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough as Utah snapped the Lakers' five-game winning streak. The Jazz have won four in a row.
Bryant hit three 3-pointers, a two-pointer and sank three free throws after being fouled while shooting a 3-pointer, giving the Lakers a 96-91 lead. But Los Angeles, which squandered an 18-point lead in the second quarter, didn't score in the final 2:31 of the game.
Paul Millsap's basket cut the lead to three and Williams' 3-pointer tied the game with 1:17. On the Lakers' next possession, Bell knocked the ball away from Bryant near midcourt. Williams got to the ball and hit Bell for a layup with 1:03 to go.
Williams scored 29 points for the Jazz (12-5). Al Jefferson had 20.
Pau Gasol scored 21 points while Lamar Odom had 16 for the Lakers (13-3).
Shannon Brown's three-point play gave the Lakers a 39-21 lead with 8:18 to play in the second quarter. Utah got back in the game with a 13-0 run and trailed 50-46 at halftime.
