After Action Report
The Lakers ran roughshod over the Jazz 117-97. Lakers' offense had its way with the Jazz. The Lakers carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Lakers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Lakers bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
