They needed overtime, but the Utah Jazz defeated the Los Angeles Lakers, 123-115, on Sunday afternoon to even their best-of-seven series at two games apiece.

Deron Williams had 29 points and 14 assists and Mehmet Okur tallied 18 points, 11 rebounds and 5 dimes for the Jazz, who shot 52% from the field and attempted twenty more free throws than Los Angeles.

Okur was charged with a technical foul late in the third after arguing a foul, and Derek Fisher sank the free throw.

Utah led by as many as twelve in the fourth quarter, but the Lakers charged back. Lamar Odom tied the game with six seconds left in regulation on a tip-in. Fisher then blocked Williams on a potential game-winner, ensuring overtime.

The Jazz came out of the gates quickly in the extra period, never looking back on their way to a Game Four victory.

Kobe Bryant, who was bothered by a bad back, posted 33 points, 10 assists and 8 rebounds and Lamar Odom contributed 26 points and 13 boards for the Lakers, who made 47% of their shots but struggled (9-for-26) from behind the arc.

Pau Gasol added 23 points and 10 rebounds, but the L.A. got little else other than 15 points from Fisher in the loss.

Forward Ronny Turiaf was ejected early in the second quarter after a flagrant foul on Jazz guard Ronnie Price.

Kyle Korver and Matt Harpring where tremendous off the bench, combining for 26 points and 6 boards, including solid play in the second half.

Bryant struggled in the second half after getting shaken up on a foul in the third quarter. After the play, in which he appeared to injure his knee slightly, he seemed to move a little slower than usual.

He finished the night with the aforementioned 33 points, but shot just 13-for-33 on the afternoon, with a majority of those misses coming in the second half.

The MVP missed seven shots in overtime alone, with his only points coming from the foul line in the final five minutes.

He left the game with a few minutes left in OT.

Game Five will be Wednesday night in Los Angeles as the Lakers look to rebound at home.
