The Lakers come off a victory on Christmas against their crosstown rivals. The Purple and Gold had seven players score in double figures with Nick Young and Timofey Mozgov leading the team with 19 points a piece. Their next opponent, the Utah Jazz are in the middle of a three-game losing streak and will look to get back on track against the Lakers.
Quarter 1:
Gordon Hayward started off the quarter with the first 8 points for his team, but the Jazz hurt themselves by turning the ball over. D’Angelo Russell looked aggressive by driving hard to the basket, which helped open up his teammates.
