After Action Report

The Jazz fended off the Lakers 136-129. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
