After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Jazz fended off the Lakers 120-114. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
