Andrei Kirilenko had his third career triple-double and Deron Williams scored a career-high 35 points to help the Utah Jazz overcome injuries to two starters and beat the Los Angeles Lakers 120-96 on Friday night.
Kirilenko finished with 20 points, 11 rebounds and 11 assists, along with six steals and four blocks.
Williams had more turnovers than assists, but was 14-for-24 from the floor and the Jazz won without leading scorer Carlos Boozer (ankle) and center Mehmet Okur (back spasms).
Kyrylo Fesenko added six points and seven rebounds in his NBA debut -- just hours after he was called up from Utah's D-League affiliate in Orem.
Kobe Bryant had 28 points to lead the lackluster Lakers, who were flat one night after beating Denver 126-99 in Los Angeles.
Williams overcame that almost by himself and left the passing to Kirilenko, the lanky forward who was back to his everywhere-on-the-court self.
Kirilenko achieved the triple-double with an offensive rebound that led to Ronnie Brewer's dunk, putting Utah up 111-90 with 5:23 left. The only remaining suspense was whether he would reach double figures in any other category.
Paul Millsap added 20 points and nine rebounds, and Brewer scored 14 for Utah.
Lakers guard Derek Fisher finished with three points and two assists in his return to Utah, where he played last season but asked over the summer to be released from his contract because of his 1-year-old daughter's cancer treatments in New York.
Jazz fans felt slighted when Fisher signed with the Lakers and he was booed often Friday, sometimes even louder than Bryant.
Jordan Farmar scored 19 of his 21 points in the second half for the Lakers, who had no answer for the shorthanded Jazz in the first half. Utah was 29-for-50 from the floor in the first two periods and led 70-51 at halftime.
The Lakers used a 10-0 run in the third quarter to pull to 87-70, but Williams ended the drought for Utah with a three-point play, drawing Bryant's fourth foul and putting the Jazz back up by 20 with the free throw.
Fesenko, the 7-foot-1 Ukrainian picked up by the Jazz in a draft-day trade, was a fan favorite by the end of the night. In his first game, he posted up Chris Mihm, then made a turnaround bank shot for his first NBA points. He added a dunk at the end of the first quarter off a pass from Kirilenko and had to leave briefly in the second half after Mihm's elbow caught him in the eye and drew blood.
Fesenko got another loud ovation when he returned -- with a puffy right eye -- in the fourth quarter.
Game notes
It was Kirilenko's first triple-double since March 2006 against Sacramento. ... Bryant scored 13 straight points for the Lakers in the second quarter, hitting back-to-back 3-pointers and then a three-point play that kept the Lakers in it for a while. ... Boozer injured the ankle Wednesday in a win in Philadelphia. ... Matt Harpring scored 12 for the Jazz.
