Lakers lose in OT, series tied

The Lakers made up a 12-point deficit in the last four minutes to even make it into overtime, but the Jazz rolled to a 123-115 win in Utah. Kobe shot 13 of 33 from the floor and finished with 33 points and ten assists. The Lakers never led after going up 2-0...it was that kind of game. Ronny Turiaf was ejected in the second period for a flagrant foul. The series comes back to Staples Center Wednesday night tied 2-2. ESPN, LAT
