After Action Report
In a track meet, the Lakers buried the Jazz 124-104. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
