After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Lakers 94-81. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
