Analyzing Utah's preseason win over the Lakers

What went right: In a word, defense. The Jazz allowed 33 points in the second half. The Lakers shot 28 percent from the field and missed 23 of their 29 3-point attempts. And the defense came from everywhere. Gobert and Favors shut down the interior. Rookie point guard Raul Neto made life miserable for Los Angeles guards on the perimeter. Utah won the rebounding battle, 60-48 and the Jazz allowed two double-figure scorers, Lou Williams with 14 points and Nick Young with 10.

What went wrong: In a word, offense. Specifically, second quarter offense. The Jazz with the ball were rough the entire game.
