Jazz win, Lakers lose

My thoughts on the Jazz beating the Lakers 96-87.

- HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

- Ty Corbin did a good job managing minutes tonight. No one cracked 31 minutes on the Jazz.

- Derrick Favors and Enes Kanter not only took advantage on the Lakers' thin bench, but they had pretty good D on Andrew Bynum.


- Bryant, Bynum and Gasol had 71 of the Lakers' 87 points.

- Devin Harris wasn't bad on defense, but his offense was awful tonight. 0-6 shooting, 1-2 free throws, 3 assists in 21 minutes. He was benched in the third. Earl "The Bulldog" Watson was a stud. He got everything rolling and finished with 11 assists.

- Gordon Hayward fared best defensively on Kobe Bryant, and therefore didn't seem to look much for his own shot.

- Al Jefferson had 18 and 13, and Paul Millsap had 16 and 13. They also each had 2 blocks.

- The turning point in the game was early in the fourth when LA coach Mike Brown screamed at the ref for not calling a foul when Watson stole the ball from Gasol. Brown wound up bumping the ref and got thrown out. The crowd roared to their feet and after the free throws, and it was the spark the Jazz needed.

- The Lakers had 30 free-throw attempts to the Jazz's 20.

- Alec Burks was a DNP-CD.
