After Action Report

In Los Angeles, the Jazz shocked the Lakers 107-91. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Lakers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. An upset for the books.

What tipped it

  • 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.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
