After Action Report
The Lakers blew the doors off the Jazz 138-99. Lakers' offense had its way with the Jazz. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

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