After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Jazz 131-105. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
