After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers buried the Jazz 127-100. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; the Lakers pushed the pace until the other side broke. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
