As the 1-0 Jazz enter the front end of their first back-to-back of the season (already?), the Lakers are coming off of a tough loss against the LA Clippers. The Lakers will be hungry, looking to bounce back after receiving much criticism of their play, only one game into the season.
The Jazz will be seeking some momentum off of their thrilling victory against the Oklahoma City Thunder. The road to 82-0 is still well and alive, folks. After squashing some doubts carried over from the preseason, the Jazz need to prove to the national media that they are for real, and cement themselves early on in the season as real contenders.
