Jodie Meeks added 23 points and Jordan Hill tallied 21 as the Lakers (26-55) assured they won’t finish last in the Western Conference. Kendall Marshall posted 15 assists and Wesley Johnson and Robert Sacre scored 12 points apiece.

Young drained a 3-pointer with two seconds left in the third quarter to begin a stretch in which he scored 12 points during a 14-0 run that culminated with another 3-pointer and gave the Lakers a 97-86 advantage with 8:03 remaining. The run concluded as a 26-3 spurt with Meeks’ basket making it 109-89 with 4:43 left as Los Angeles held the Jazz to 18 fourth-quarter points.
Utah led by 13 points early in the second quarter before Los Angeles tallied the final 12 points of the half for a 57-51 lead at the break. The Jazz recovered to take a one-point lead on a basket by Burks just past the midway point of the third and the score was knotted at 86 entering the final stanza.
