After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 131-129. The Lakers got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
