After Action Report
The Lakers squeaked past the Jazz 101-97. Lakers' scorers couldn't be contained. Lakers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Lakers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Lakers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
