LeBron James' first bucket in year 23 came in the second quarter when he knocked down a catch-and-shoot 3-pointer on his second attempt of the night. The veteran forward’s playmaking from the post created several scoring opportunities for the Lakers through well-timed cuts.

For the Jazz, Keyonte George had 21 points, and the Lakers had no answer for him on or off the ball. He shot lights out from beyond the arc, converting five of his nine attempts from deep. The Lakers won the second quarter 40-35, but the Jazz entered the break with a 71-67 lead.

The Lakers trailed 84-81 in the middle of the third quarter before closing the period on a 21-5 run to take a 104-93 lead into the final period.
