Williams scored in double figures for the 59th straight game by adding nine of his 16 points in the fourth.

D'Angelo Russell added 23 while Joe Harris contributed 19 for Brooklyn, which shot 45.5 percent. Allen Crabbe chipped in 15 but Spencer Dinwiddie was held to 11 on 3-of-16 shooting.

The Nets went up 15 on a jumper by Rondae Hollis-Jefferson with about eight minutes left in the second quarter and took a 67-60 lead into halftime. They took a 97-90 lead into the fourth before Los Angeles roared back.

Los Angeles finally tied the game in the opening minutes of the fourth when Williams hit a jumper near the foul line over Jared Dudley with 10:21 left to forge a 97-97 tie. —Field Level Media/Reuters
