Could there be a better way to get back into the swing of Utah Jazz basketball than with a crushing defeat of the Los Angeles Lakers? Aside from Enes Kanter, no one gets the heat from Jazz fans like Kobe Bryant and the Lake Show, making Sunday’s victory a smidgen sweeter than most.
Aside from some rocky stretches in the first half, the Jazz played well on both ends of the floor–particularly on the defensive side, with Utah’s big men clogging the lanes and Raul Neto working the Lakers in the backcourt.
