After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Lakers blew the doors off the Jazz 117-96. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire; fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Garbage time started early.
