After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Jazz rolled past the Lakers 113-93. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; the Lakers sent shots into the fifth row all night. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
- Lakers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
