After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 117-94. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; you could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
