After Action Report

The Jazz blew the doors off the Lakers 125-100. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
