After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Lakers 109-106. Jazz torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
