Lakers 106, Jazz 77

This was quite possibly, one of the clearest games to ever show how good the Lakers are this year. Up two points entering the fourth quarter, the Lakers told the Jazz they weren’t going to score double digits in the fourth quarter…and they weren’t lying. Maybe the whole team took shots of Hennessy during this game.
That’s G: Kobe 27 points, 8 assists, and 6 rebounds. Good ball.
That’s Pee: THE JAZZ HAD 6 POINTS IN THE FOURTH QUARTER. C’MON FELLAS!!!

Jazz 108, Blazers 92
For the second game in a row the Blazers have found themselves down by at least 14 points at the end of the first.  This is definintely NOT how you want to start off your games especially on the road and in Utah.  Some coaches would call this “coming out flat” I call it “sucking.”  The Blazers defense missed tonight’s game as the Jazz lit up the remnants of the Blazers defense by shooting a sizzling 60% from the field!  The stat that stood out the most …
