Great win for the Jazz. Any time the Jazz can get a road win its big, but beating the Lakers at home is awesome. Nice team victory. Enes, Paul and Al all played well. It was nice to see Hayward get a couple outside shots to drop in the fourth. More..
LOVE IT!!! Beating the Lakers on their home court...does it get any sweeter than that?
