The Utah Jazz (4-15) are hosting the Los Angeles Lakers (11-8) at the Delta Center Sunday night.
Following a loss against the Dallas Mavericks on Saturday, Utah steps back onto their home court in less than 24 hours. Against the Mavericks, Utah struggled heavily on offense. They shot under 36% from the field and 23% from deep, resulting in an offensive rating of 94. Chief among those who struggled was Lauri Markkanen, who shot 2-11 from deep (with a number of those attempts not coming particularly close).
Despite that, the Jazz fought hard for most of the night, kept their turnover numbers to a relative low, and had some of their best defensive stretches of the season.
