SALT LAKE CITY -- Deron Williams scored eight straight points to start the fourth quarter and finished with 21 points and 11 assists as Utah snapped the Lakers' 11-game winning streak.
Utah took advantage as Kobe Bryant struggled with a fractured index finger from a game the night before. The Jazz held Bryant to 16 points on 7 of 24 shooting. Bryant didn't score in the second half until less than five minutes remained in the game and Utah was up by 15.
The Jazz also avenged a loss to the Lakers in Los Angeles on Wednesday, when Utah scored just six points in the fourth quarter.

DALLAS -- Dirk Nowitzki hit a 10-foot jumper with 1.8 seconds left in overtime, and Dallas improves to 11-0 all-time against Charlotte.
Nowitzki scored 36 points, including 18 in the fourth quarter and overtime. He hit a fadeaway over Boris Diaw from the left elbow, capping a frantic ending where the teams exchanged the lead six times in the final minute.
Stephen Jackson scored 28 points for Charlotte but missed badly on a 3-point attempt that could have won it just before the buzzer.
Pacers 114, Wizards 113
WASHINGTON -- Mike Dunleavy benefited from a replay review and made two free throws with one-tenth of a second left for Indiana, which overcame a Gilbert Arenas triple-double.
Arenas' big night was marred when he missed two free throws in the closing seconds of a tight game for the second time in three nights, leaving the Wizards up by only one.
Dunleavy was fouled as time expired and a review put one-tenth of a second on the clock before he made both shots.
Arenas finished with 22 points, 10 rebounds and 11 assists for his fourth career triple-double and first since March 19, 2004.
Pistons 104, Warriors 95
