After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Jazz fended off the Lakers 129-121. Jazz's offense had its way with the Lakers. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Lakers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
