NBA

Utah tied their NBA Western semi-finals series against the LA Lakers at 2-2 with a 123-115 home win in overtime.

It was their second straight win over the Lakers, whose main man Kobe Bryant still had 33 points and 10 assists despite suffering from back spasms.

The Jazz were paced by Deron Williams, with 29 points and 14 assists.

Reigning champions San Antonio also rebounded from a 0-2 start, beating New Orleans 100-80 to tie their Western semi-final series at 2-2.

Tim Duncan had 22 points and 15 rebounds, while Tony Parker added 21 points.

Chris Paul scored 23 points for New Orleans but received little support from those around him.

  • Mike D'Antoni is to leave the Phoenix Suns to take over as head coach of the New York Knicks.
