Not surprisingly, the Lakers cruised to a 113-100 victory over the Utah Jazz.
The Lakers came out firing on all cylinders in the first half and lead by 22 at the break. The game was closer than expected at times in the second half, but the Lakers Kobe took over in the fourth and seemed to have an answer every time the Jazz got within 10.
Also great games from Trevor Ariza, who surpassed his career playoff points total with 21, and Shannon Brown, who went 3-3 from behind the arc.
Here is the game recap and the box score.
More on our performance coming tomorrow. In the meantime, enjoy the victory Lakers fans, and this is your post-game thread. Can't wait until Tuesday!
Go Purple & Gold!
