After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 116-82. Lakers torched the Jazz on the offensive end. Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
