OAKLAND, Calif. - After falling to the Warriors by 20 in the last game, the Jazz bounced back in a big way and will now return to Utah for Game 5 with a 3-1 series lead after topping Golden State, 115-101, in Game 4 on Sunday.

Utah dominated down low with Carlos Boozer running the show.

Boozer finished with game highs in points (34) and rebounds (12) and helped the Jazz hold a 50-32 edge in points in the paint.

Derek Fisher, who struggled in Game 3, scored 14 of his 21 points in the final quarter to help the Jazz lead by as many as 16 in the closing minutes.

Deron Williams finished with 20 points, 13 assists and six rebounds. Mehmet Okur scored 14 points and grabbed seven boards, while Andrei Kirilenko added 12 points and eight rebounds.

Stephen Jackson and Al Harrington scored 24 points apiece to lead the Warriors, who dropped their first home game of the playoffs. Baron Davis netted 15 points, dished out seven assists and recorded four steals.

"We just didn't have enough juice. They did everything they were supposed to do to beat us, and they took it to us. They came in and played really well, and we weren't that good,'' Warriors coach Don Nelson said after Sunday's loss to the Jazz.

The series will now shift back to Utah for Game 5. Tip-off is on Tuesday at 10:30 PM ET on TNT.
