Kirilenko finished with 13 points, seven rebounds, four assists and flustered the Warriors with his gangly arms blocking shot after shot.

After Williams had just put Utah up 108-107 with a 21-foot jumper, Jackson tried to get the lead back for Golden State with a layup but couldn't get it over Kirilenko's long reach.

Andris Biedrins couldn't put back the rebound as Jackson furiously picked himself off the floor, pumping his fist toward the official who did not call a foul on the play.

It unraveled Jackson, but not his teammates. Matt Barnes made a free throw to get Golden State within 109-108, then scored on a layup that put the Warriors ahead for the last time with 1:24 left in the game.

Williams answered with a layup while drawing a foul by Jackson and made the free throw to put the Jazz up 112-110.

Notes: Davis scored 17 in the second quarter after going scoreless in the first. ... Both teams were 4-for-7 from 3-point range in the first quarter. ... Williams and Harpring both had career highs for scoring in a playoff game. ... Richardson and Barnes had 10 rebounds apiece for Golden State.
