After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Jazz handled the Lakers 103-88. Jazz's offense had its way with the Lakers. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Jazz; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
