After Action Report
The Lakers snuck past the Jazz 99-95. The Lakers' lockdown unit choked off Jazz's offense. The Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
