After Action Report
In Los Angeles, the Lakers survived the Jazz 112-107. Ugly basketball, but the Lakers did just enough. Second-chance points piled up for the Lakers; Lakers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Lakers locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.
