After Action Report
The Jazz outlasted the Lakers 105-99. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Lakers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
