After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 102-81. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
