After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Lakers 100-98. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Lakers carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
