Salt Lake City, UT (Basketball News) - Manu Ginobili had 22 points, six rebounds and three steals, as the San Antonio Spurs took a 3-1 series lead over the Utah Jazz with a 91-79 victory in Western Conference finals action from EnergySolutions Arena.

Tim Duncan added 19 points and nine boards while Tony Parker finished with 17 points for the Spurs, who rebounded from a 109-83 loss on Saturday.

Deron Williams fought through a stomach flu to post a game-high 27 points and 10 assists for Utah, which trailed by just one entering the fourth but was unable to keep up in the final quarter. Williams did not participate in the team’s shootaround on Monday, but was able to take the floor come game time to lead his team. Carlos Boozer had 18 points and nine rebounds in a losing effort.

Game 5 of this best-of-seven series is scheduled for Wednesday at the AT&T Center, where the Spurs can secure a trip to the NBA Finals.
