SALT LAKE CITY, March 14 (UPI) -- Al Jefferson scored 30 points and Andrei Kirilenko added seven in overtime Monday, boosting the Utah Jazz to a 112-107 decision over Philadelphia.
Kirilenko drained a 3-pointer 40 seconds into the extra frame to put Utah ahead for good at 106-103 and the Jazz went on to record only their fourth win in 11 games since former head Coach Jerry Sloan stepped down.
Jefferson hauled down 17 rebounds while C.J. Miles and Devin Harris each added 19 points for Utah, which remained two games out of the eighth and final Western Conference playoff spot.
Kirilenko finished with 16 points and six assists.
Andre Iguodala scored 23 points but missed a potential game-winning shot at the end of regulation for Philadelphia.
Lou Williams scored 22 points and Elton Brand added 19 as the Sixers lost for the 20th time in 22 visits to Salt Lake City.
