Sorry to say Utah fans but the Jazz slipped on their own home floor tonight, Derron Willams and the crew hosted a battered lakers team dealing with injuries to two of their stars, coming into the game the Jazz were riding a hot 9 game win streak and the Lakers chugging along with their 2 wins with out shooting guard Kobe Bryant. The Lakers looked towards their two bigs Pau Gasol and Lamar Odom to do the heavy lifting on this night. The tandem duo did an effective job shutting down the lanes and plugging up the inside paint forcing the Jazz to low percentage shots on the perimeter. The Lakers get a nice 5 days of rest this week and then match up against the Golden State Warriors, Utah gets to rest for 5 days as well and matches up against the Huston Rockets on the 16th. LA goes to 3-0 with out their superstar and their center Andrew Bynum again, Kobes start in the All Star game has yet to be decided. Lakers go on to win this one 96-81.
