After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Jazz survived the Lakers 99-98. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
