After Action Report
In Utah, the Lakers survived the Jazz 129-128. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Shots just aren't falling for the Lakers lately; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
