After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Lakers 97-92. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; the Lakers are in a full-on tailspin. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
