After Action Report

The Lakers fended off the Jazz 104-96. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Lakers. Shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
