After Action Report
The Lakers held off the Jazz 117-109. Lakers' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
