After Action Report
The Lakers downed the Jazz 130-116. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
