After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Lakers 118-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Lakers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
