After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers survived the Jazz 127-126. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
