After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 99-98. The Lakers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
