After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Lakers 120-117. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
