After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz pulled away from the Lakers 99-87. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Lakers locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
