LOS ANGELES (AP) — Joe Ingles made a 3-pointer with 21.6 seconds left to lead the Utah Jazz to a 102-100 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night, snapping a three-game losing streak.
Gordon Hayward led the Jazz with 31 points and nine rebounds. Ingles finished with 13 points and Rudy Gobert had 12 points and 11 rebounds.
The Lakers had a final chance to win the game but D'Angelo Russell shot an airball on a 3-point attempt.
Julius Randle had 25 points and 12 rebounds for his team-high ninth double-double for the Lakers, who have lost 13 of their last 15. Lou Williams added 22 points off the bench, including nine in the fourth quarter.
It was a rough night for the Lakers' two No. 2 picks. Russell went 2 for 11 from the field and Brandon Ingram was 2 for 5.
Hayward scored 18 points in the first half, but the Jazz still trailed 52-48 at the break. The Lakers forced 11 turnovers by the half and outrebounded Utah 24-19.
