Stu’s analysis is so basic, can he explain why the defense was so much better this game compared to last game beyond the fact that the Nuggets were making every open three and the Jazz were airballing those same shots?
Lakers win 101-95 vs the Jazz. Best win of the season, IMO. _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z
Really shows why the top teams don't fear the Jazz in a 7 game series. Smart teams know how to attack Rudy Gobert lineups.
I am not saying Lakers would beat them as they have to prove they can become a good team this season. This is just 1 game. We need to see if AD is going to come back as one of the best players in the NBA or just a very good player.

Lakers been tipping quite a few of those.
They have been playing great... but the Jazz have looked like a lottery team in the fourth. Lost all their composure.
I think a mixture of Lakers playing desperate...but smart (for once), helped, combined with the Jazz just not being as good tonight. Jazz also seem to have a tendency even in the playoffs to fold when pressure put on them.
Lebron and Stanley small ball completely took Rudy out of the game.
THT, Reeves, and Monk applying pressure on the Jazz perimeter.
Benching Russ and going with the small ball feisty defensive lineup finally paid off.
Not sure if it’ll work on other elite shooting teams though..........

Just as a side note, this win even more impressive considering AD was not playing.
Stanley Johnson game ball? _________________ "One thing I admire about Kuzma is his unwavering confidence. He truly has no idea that he’s not as good as he thinks." - Killer_Z

Not tonight, I don't know if it's because of Lakers D or just not a night for jazz shooting.
