Collin Sexton returned from his injury absence, after not playing since Feb. 15 due to a hamstring ailment, and scored 15 points.<br \/>The Jazz took an early lead in OT on an Olynyk layup and free throw. James scored five straight to put Los Angeles up by two, but Horton-Tucker quickly tied it.<\/p>\n<div data-pos=\"0\" class=\"id-r-component QbQNS undefined  &#10;        \">\n<div><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Basketball-1-AI\" msid=\"99258251\" width=\"600\" title=\"\" placeholdersrc=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/photo\/42706777.gif\" imgsize=\"23456\" resizemode=\"4\" offsetvertical=\"0\" placeholdermsid=\"\" type=\"thumb\" class=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/static.toiimg.com\/thumb\/imgsize-23456,msid-99258251,width-600,resizemode-4\/99258251.jpg\" data-api-prerender=\"true\"\/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><span class=\"em \">(AI image)<\/span><br \/>After Utah went up by three thanks to an Olynyk trey, a Reaves jumper and a pair of James free throws gave the Lakers a 133-132 lead with 54.1 seconds left.<br \/>Horton-Tucker split a pair of free throws to tie it again, setting the stage for James&#8217; late spinning drive.<br \/>Horton-Tucker missed a potential game-tying shot, and the Lakers ran out the clock.<br \/>After falling behind by 14 in the third quarter, Utah roared back with an 11-0 run.
