Los Angeles - The Utah Jazz showed they're a pretty tough team to beat even without two of their top players.

Deron Williams had 31 points with 11 assists, Mehmet Okur scored 22, including the go-ahead three-pointer with 42.8 seconds left and the Jazz snapped the Los Angeles Lakers' seven-game winning streak with a thrilling 113-109 victory on Wednesday night.

"It's a great win for us going into the All-Star break, it's a confidence builder," Williams said. "It just shows that we're a good team despite all the injuries. It just proves we can win against the best teams in the league and we showed that tonight."

CJ Miles had 17 points, Ronnie Brewer added 16 for Utah (30-23) which without All-Star forward Carlos Boozer (knee) and Andrei Kirilenko (ankle) won for the fourth time in the last five games.

"We've won 30 games," Jazz coach Jerry Sloan said. "I would never have dreamed it with the people that have missed games."

Kobe Bryant scored 37 points, Lamar Odom had 19 points with 19 rebounds for the league-best, but road weary Lakers (42-10) playing their eighth game in eight different cities.

"They play extremely well here but we just didn't play well defensively or hard enough," Bryant said. "We were tired a little bit down the stretch, but we still had our opportunities."

Bryant's three-pointer with 1:36 left capped a 13-3 run and put the Lakers ahead, 105-104. Paul Millsap's three-point play and Bryant's layup at the other end had the game squared at 107-apiece.

Williams then found Okur, who buried the three-pointer from the left wing, giving the Jazz the lead for good, 110-107.

With the Jazz ahead 112-109, Bryant drew a double-team, but he got the ball to Derek Fisher. However, the sharpshooting guard, missed consecutive game-tying three-point tries in the final seconds, before Williams hit one of two free throws to wrap up the win.
