After Action Report
The Lakers survived the Jazz 115-114. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
