After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the Lakers 98-97. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; second-chance points piled up for the Lakers. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it
