The Last Meeting.......
The Lakers lost to the Jazz 102-96 on November 26th at Energy Solutions Arena. The Lakers once led the game by 19 points in the first half, but the bottom fell out when the Jazz went on a 29-9 run to end the half. Kobe Bryant led the Lakers back by scoring 14 straight points in the 4th for a 96-91 lead with 2:32 to go. They would never score again as the Jazz scored 11 unanswered to win the game.
KEYS TO WINNING
REBOUNDING
The Jazz are near the bottom of the league in overall rebounding. The Lakers are ranked 2nd.
INSIDE POST GAME
Pound the Jazz interior defense, they're undersized to the Lakers front line. Drew and Pau need touches early and often. If they can get Jefferson and Millsap in foul trouble early, they lose their only interior scoring threats.
BENCH PRODUCTION
In the game in Utah the Jazz bench is what turned the game around, this time the Laker bench must do the same. Which ever bench has an impact early will tell the story of this game.
