SALT LAKE CITY -- Nick Young gave the Lakers a reason to smile near the end of this gloomy season. T.J. Tynan Jersey . Young scored a season-high 41 points and helped Los Angeles snap a seven-game losing streak with a 119-104 victory against the Utah Jazz on Monday night. The mercurial guard bounced around the court, playing full-throttle. "You have to find the joy even when you may be frustrated with the way things have been going," Young said. Coach Mike DAntoni said: "Nick is fun, a good guy in the sense that he is always laughing and smiling,". "He can get his shot off of anybody and when he gets on rolls, he uncanny in how he can score." Jodie Meeks had 23 points and Jordan Hill added 21 for Lakers, who had only eight healthy players. Alec Burks scored 22 points and Gordon Hayward had 21 points for Utah. Enes Kanter had 19 points and 12 rebounds and Trey Burke chipped in 17 for the Jazz, who have lost 10 of 11 games. The game was tied at 86 after the third quarter, and then the Lakers found their range. Los Angeles outscored the Jazz 33-18 and the Utah players heard a mix of cheers and boos as the clock expired in their last home game of the season. Los Angeles converted Utahs 18 largely unforced turnovers into 29 points and outrebounded the Jazz 21-12 in the second half. "They were turnovers that didnt give us a chance to get back and make stops. They made us pay," Utah coach Ty Corbin said. Young fought through ball denials to get off shots all over the court -- jumpers and acrobatic drives to the baskets. He yelled at the crowd and bobbed his head, flashing a variety of hand signals after swishing 3s. "Hey Swaggy P can play a little bit and I just want you people to see that. I got a future. I can do my thing, Im telling you all. Better watch out for me," Young said, referencing his self-proclaimed alter-ego. Three late misses stopped him short of his career-high of 43 points. "That was tough. It was great to have my teammates and my coach try and help me out there. I wish I had those last few shots back," Young said. In recent days, the teams were locked in a battle for lottery seeding and a better chance at one of the top four picks in the 2014 draft. The Jazz seem to have solidified the fourth slot and may match their club-worst 24-58 record in 1979-80, the first season after the franchise moved from New Orleans to Utah. The Lakers have no reason to tank for a better lottery seed as most will be elsewhere next season. A dozen of the 15 players on the roster could be free agents, including Young if he opts out of his $1.2 million deal for next season. The Jazz started the presumed core of their future -- Hayward, Derrick Favours, Kanter, Burks and Burke -- for the third time this season but all three games have ended in late-game collapses and losses. The Lakers have already set a record for most losses in a season, the worst since the NBA went to an 82-game slate. They will miss the playoffs for the just the second time in two decades but this win stopped them short of their first eight-game skid since March 2005. "Were not last place now," Young said. "Were not quitters." DAntoni and Corbin are both rumoured to be on their way out and the game resembled a pre-season contest with porous defences, lots of broken plays and sloppy turnovers. The lack of defensive intensity did lead to excellent accuracy as the Lakers hit 55 per cent of their field goals and the Jazz shot 52 per cent from the floor. The Jazz led by as many as 13 points before the Lakers closed the half on a 19-2 run, powered by Meeks nine points. "Early on we struggled, but thats basketball. We knew we were going to make some runs," Meeks said. NOTES: A significant portion of crowd was dressed in gold and out-cheered the home crowd as the Lakers rallied to take the lead at the end of the first half and opened a big advantage in the fourth quarter. . Not one of the Lakers that started this game was in the lineup of the opening game of the season. . Burke, Burks, Kanter, Favours, Jeremy Evans, and Rudy Gobert are the only players with guaranteed contracts with the Jazz for next season. . Kendall Marshall had 2 points and 15 assists for the Lakers. Nicolas Hague Jersey . The Argentina striker has not played for the Premier League leaders since September when he refused to warm up during a Champions League match and only returned last week from a three-month unauthorized absence at home. City coach Roberto Mancini had initially told Tevez he would never play for City again after his act of public insubordination, but later softened his stance and only asked for an apology. Brad Hunt Jersey .  Almost 40 years to the day, the two teams will meet again, this time at BC Place, to celebrate the past and try to earn important points for the present.IRVING, Texas - Tony Romos back was the top priority for the Dallas Cowboys on their long plane ride to London.Even higher than the comfort of owner Jerry Jones wife.Gene will sit up in the bulkhead, Jones joked a day before Mondays flight. Romo will lounge on the way over. You dont think itd be me, do you?Assuming Romos third back injury in 18 months makes it through the nine-hour flight no worse for the wear, the next question will be how much preparation time he can handle.Romo missed practice all last week and watched Sunday while backup Brandon Weeden failed to get Dallas into the end zone until a 28-17 loss to Arizona was out of reach.The Cowboys were scheduled to land in London on Tuesday morning, hoping to get into their routine as much as possible ahead of Sundays game against Jacksonville.So far this season, that plan has been meetings and a short walk-through Tuesday, and regular practices Wednesday through Friday.Romo has skipped Wednesday workouts since the regular season started after surgery for a herniated disk last December. The latest injury is two fractures of small bones in the back, and others with the same injury have missed one game.Absolutely, coach Jason Garrett said Monday when asked if he thought Romo could play. Feel better today and get through the flight, feel good when he gets over there and well take it day by day this week.The Cowboys looked like they missed Romo against the Cardinals, who stacked the line of scrimmage and ended DeMarco Murrays record streak of eight straight 100-yard games to start the season, holding him to 79 yards rushing on 19 carries.Weeden didnt make the leagues worst pass defence pay for it, repeatedly misfiring to Dez Bryant and others before throwing his first interception with Dallas in scoring range in the third quarter and his second to end any hopes of a comeback in the fourth.I think Romo could have probably been expected to get to those second, third and fourth receivers, Jones said. I would have liked for him to be able to get some third and fourth options in there because wee had them. Pierre-Edouard Bellemare Jersey. That would have made a big difference out there, but again, thats a lot to expect from a guy in his situation.Weeden is 31, but was making just his 21st NFL start because he spent five years playing minor league baseball. He replaced Kyle Orton as Romos backup when Orton thought about retiring, which prompted his release before he signed with Buffalo. Orton is starting for the Bills now.The Cowboys were pleased with Weeden through the preseason, and in relief when he led scoring drives on the only two possessions Romo missed after getting hurt against Washington a week ago.But in his first start, he looked a lot like the quarterback who was run out of Cleveland just two years after the Browns drafted him in the first round, with a career record of 5-15 and more interceptions than touchdowns. Garrett said he still thinks he has a backup who can win.I thought Brandon did a really good job when he came into the game the other night against Washington, Garrett said. But for the most part we didnt do what we needed to do in the passing game throughout the game yesterday. Weve got to build on some of the good things that did happen.Weeden and Bryant were on the same team at Oklahoma State, but didnt play together much. Bryant had joined the Cowboys before Weeden became the starter.Weeden sure was looking for Bryant, targeting him 10 times. And yet Bryants 56-game streak with at least one catch was in jeopardy before two meaningless grabs in the final 2 minutes, including a 3-yard touchdown.Without question I missed (Romo), but I believe in Weeden too, said Bryant, who had a season-low 15 yards receiving. Weve got to go back to the drawing board and try to fix what we need to fix.NOTES: LB Rolando McClain and DT Tyrone Crawford had MRIs on their injured knees Monday, but were expected to make the trip. ...
