The Utah Jazz (12-9) face off again against the LA Lakers (10-12) for the second time of the season tonight, this time in the Staples Center in LA. Last time the Jazz played the Lakers, it was the second game of the season and the home opener. Despite dropping the season opener at Portland, the Jazz pulled through and beat the Lakers 96-89 behind 23 points by George Hill and a 13/13/4 points/rebounds/blocks game from Rudy.
Derrick Favors played in that game too, coming off the bench to get 15 and 8 with two blocks.
