After Action Report
The Lakers edged the Jazz 105-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Lakers came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Lakers rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
