After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz buried the Lakers 123-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Superstar Stack delivered when it mattered for the Jazz; the Jazz pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
