After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 144-102. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Garbage time started early.
