After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Lakers 122-99. The tempo dragged the Lakers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
