After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Jazz pulled away from the Lakers 111-92. Jazz's offense had its way with the Lakers. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Lakers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- 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 · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
