After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 113-92. Lakers' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
