The Utah Jazz won Game 1 thanks to a heroic performance from seven-time All-Star Joe Johnson, who hit a buzzer beater at Staples Center.

Sunday night, back at home, the Jazz won Game 4 for the same reason. Johnson made sure he didn't have to hit a buzzer beater this time, however, taking care of business a bit earlier in the fourth quarter.

He put the Jazz on his back, scoring or assisting on 20 consecutive points in the frame, and they battled back from a seven-point deficit with under eight minutes remaining with a 25-11 run to win 105-98.

An interesting subplot, is that Johnson was doing all of that -- simply taking over the game and cooking the Clippers -- while wearing Chris Paul's signature shoe, the CP3.X.

Given the fact that there's only a few guys in the league who actually have signature shoes, and those shoes are usually some of the best around, it's unavoidable that players are going to wear other players' signature shoes. Still, it's pretty hilarious that Johnson took it to Paul and the Clippers while wearing CP3's own shoes.

Here you can see a closeup of the CP3.X.

Which, as you can see, is the shoe Johnson is wearing. (Though it appears to be a slightly different color way.)

This is so great, and adds just a bit of insult to injury for the Clippers, who missed a chance to take a 3-1 lead in the series.
