After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Lakers 117-101. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
