    David Locke and Ron Boone bring you POSTCAST after every Jazz game

    The Utah Jazz delivered a resounding 131-119 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers, dominating from start to finish. David Locke, radio voice of the Utah Jazz and Jazz NBA Insider, breaks down the game's key moments, highlighting the Jazz's fast-paced first quarter that set the tone for the night. Lauri Markkanen's aggressive play and Keyonte George's impressive floor game were instrumental in dismantling the Lakers' recent hot streak.
