So, that was ugly. After a strong crunch-time effort and a win in their season opener against the Oklahoma City Thunder, it was tough sledding for the Utah Jazz (now 1-1) against LeBron James and the Lakers in LA on Friday.
James may have looked less than awesome in his squad’s first game, but he was in top form against the Jazz, dropping 32 points, 10 assists and seven boards in just 31 minutes of play to lead the Lakers to a 95-86 win over the good guys. And believe me…the game wasn’t really that close.
