After Action Report

The Lakers downed the Jazz 112-97. Lakers' offense had its way with the Jazz. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
