After Action Report

The Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 128-126. Lakers controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
