Subbing in for Ronnie Brewer with a minute to go in the third, Korver made a three-pointer with 30 seconds to go that gave the Jazz a six-point lead. He made the first basket for the Jazz in the fourth, then stole the ball from the Lakers' DJ Mbenga that led to a basket by Paul Millsap.
Seconds later he made his second three-pointer of the day off an assist by Matt Harpring.
Korver led the bench with 14 points, five rebounds and 30 minutes of work. His points and minutes were playoff highs and his rebounds tied his playoff high.
"I was so happy to get a couple shots in a row and knock them down," Korver said. "That was the first time I've had rhythm. My shots have been so sporadic. You get a couple the first half, then sit the halftime and third quarter. I'm not complaining, it's not that at all, but it's hard to find a rhythm."
Korver and Deron Williams were the only players who played the entire fourth quarter and overtime. His hot streak was over as quickly as it started as he missed his last five shots, but Korver did enough elsewhere to justify his presence in the lineup. He snagged a rebound that led to a basket by Millsap in the fourth and had three rebounds in overtime.
He also made all four free throw attempts to keep his status as one of the best free throw shooters in the game.
Overall Utah's bench outscored the Lakers 39-16 and outrebounded them 11-8.
"We came out with Matt, Paul and Ronnie [Price] and made some shots," Korver said. "We tried to just hustle and bring some energy."
That energy, he said, was found in an offense that he'd spent plenty of time guarding against throughout his career, but had never played until he was acquired by the Jazz in December.
"The flex is the most basic offense that most people have run since they started playing organized basketball but I'd never run it," he said. "It's fun. You're coming off screens, setting screens and working around it. It's great."
