After Action Report

The Jazz edged the Lakers 109-102. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
