SALT LAKE CITY, May 11 (UPI) -- Deron Williams scored 29 points for Utah, pacing the Jazz to a 123-115 overtime win Sunday over the Los Angeles Lakers, tying their playoff series 2-2.

The Jazz survived a late rally by the Lakers, who came from 12 points behind to force the contest into overtime on a putback shot by Lamar Odom that tied the score at 106 with just over four seconds on the clock. Derek Fisher scored 10 straight points during the Lakers' surge.

Mehmet Okur hit back-to-back jump shots and Andrei Kirilenko notched a three-point play to lead the Jazz in overtime.

Game 5 of the Western Conference series will be played Wednesday in Los Angeles.

Okur scored 18 points, Kirilenko 15 and Carlos Boozer and Kyle Korver 14 each for Utah, which has won two games at home after falling behind 2-0 in Los Angeles.

Kobe Bryant topped the Lakers' scoring with 33 points and 10 assists, but was slowed by a back injury. He hit 13 of his 33 field goal attempts, including just one of 10 from three-point range.

Odom had 26 points and Gasol 23 for Los Angeles.
