After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers demolished the Jazz 129-89. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
