After Action Report

The Lakers buried the Jazz 137-110. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
