After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers survived the Jazz 107-105. Lakers torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
