The Los Angeles Lakers’ recent surge continued relatively unabated with a 135-133 overtime win over the Utah Jazz on Tuesday — but it wasn’t pretty.
Los Angeles gradually built a double-digit lead by halftime, and it looked like it was going to cruise to a relatively uneventful victory. But its lead started to diminish midway through the third quarter, and it disappeared when Utah took a 99-97 advantage with 9:53 left in the fourth quarter.
