After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Jazz fended off the Lakers 109-103. Jazz torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
