SALT LAKE CITY, Dec. 27 (UPI) -- Derrick Favors grabbed an offensive rebound and scored on a dunk with 2 seconds to play Friday, giving Utah a 105-103 win over the Los Angeles Lakers.
The Lakers trailed by four heading into the final minute, but Jordan Hill scored on a layup and then hit two free throws with 19 seconds remaining to forge a 103-103 tie.
Utah's Gordon Hayward tried to score the winning basket on a driving layup, but he misfired as time was running down. Favors stormed down the lane to grab the miss and his follow dunk gave the Jazz their ninth win of the season.
Jodie Meets attempted a buzzer-beating 3-pointer for the Lakers, but did not threaten the basket.
Los Angeles lost its fourth in a row and has fallen 3 ½ games out of a playoff position in the Western Conference.
