Carter was fouled by Smith with 5.3 seconds to play and that forced the Nets to inbound from in front of their bench.
The inbounds pass by Jarvis Hayes went into the backcourt and Carter made the play of the game to get the Nets a rare home win in a contest in which New Jersey coach Lawrence Frank was ejected in a dismal second quarter.
Hayes hit a 3-pointer with 1:35 to play to give New Jersey a 90-87 lead, but the Hawks came back, getting within 2 points when Bibby made two of three free throws after being fouled by Harris on a 3-pointer with 20.7 seconds left in the overtime.

Down 15 points to start the fourth quarter, Utah outscored the Lakers, 11-2, to get within 7. The Lakers didn't help themselves when Bryant missed two consecutive shots and Odom turned the ball over before Andrei Kirilenko scored off his own steal to draw the Jazz to 97-93 with 2:59 remaining.
