After Action Report

The Jazz buried the Lakers 129-98. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; the Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
