After Action Report

The Jazz handled the Lakers 110-100. Jazz torched the Lakers on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • 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.
