After Action Report

The Lakers snuck past the Jazz 118-117. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Fresh off a statement win, the Lakers stayed locked in; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke.

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.
  • Lakers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
