After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers outlasted the Jazz 117-101. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Lakers looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode; Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
