After Action Report
The Lakers outlasted the Jazz 118-106. The breakneck pace played right into Lakers' hands. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. Early returns: the Lakers per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
