After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Jazz 104-100. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
