After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 109-108. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Lakers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
