After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the Lakers 113-111. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Lakers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
