After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz took care of the Lakers 128-112. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.
What tipped it

- Lakers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
