After Action Report

The Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 108-87. Every possession went the Lakers way. Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
