In a game played under the shadow of both teams' injury issues, the Utah Jazz took a big first-half lead and then cruised to a 113-95 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers Friday night in Salt Lake City.
The Jazz took the floor without all three of the point guards on their roster—Ricky Rubio (hamstring), Danté Exum (ankle) and Raul Neto (foot) were all out—while the Lakers were missing four-time MVP LeBron James (groin) for the eighth straight game.
Donovan Mitchell led the way for the Jazz with 33 points and nine assists as the team's de facto starting point guard.
