After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 126-124. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers are in a full-on tailspin; Lakers' defenders refused to give up clean looks.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
