After Action Report

The Lakers took care of the Jazz 116-98. The Jazz had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Lakers owned the glass, generating extra possessions.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
