As the Los Angeles Lakers look to defend their title in the Emirates Cup, they continued group play on Tuesday night, hosting the Utah Jazz.
The Lakers beat the San Antonio Spurs in their first game so were looking to remain undefeated in group play. They did exactly that, beating the Jazz, 124-118, to earn their sixth straight win overall and improve their record to 10-4.
With Rui Hachimura missing a third straight game, Dalton Knecht got another start and kicked off the scoring for the Lakers with a corner triple. He then made another one from the same extra spot to give his team an early 10-4 lead.
