After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Lakers 104-95. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
