After Action Report
The Lakers rolled past the Jazz 138-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Lakers cashed in. Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Lakers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
