After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Jazz pulled away from the Lakers 117-100. The Lakers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
