After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Lakers 98-78. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Lakers' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
