The Los Angeles Lakers (2-0) visit the Utah Jazz (1-1) for an NBA regular season game on Sunday, October 25, at Delta Center.
The Lakers have started the season on a strong note, winning their first two games on the strength of their offense. Despite losing LeBron James in free agency, it seems that the purple-and-gold have not lost their touch on the offensive end of the floor.
After a convincing 22-point victory over Stephen Curry and the Golden State Warriors, the Lakers followed up with a 125-117 win over the Los Angeles Clippers. They actually trailed by four after the opening period, but a strong third quarter gave the Lakers a 13-point lead entering the payoff period.
It was a balanced offensive performance for the Lakers, with six players scoring in double digits, including all their starters. Austin Reaves led the way with 28 points and 9 assists, while Luka Doncic had 23 points and 7 assists.
As for the Jazz, they lost their season opener to the Memphis Grizzlies, but bounced back with a 120-119 victory over the New Orleans Pelicans. Jaren Jackson Jr. topscored for Utah with 24 points, to go along with 10 rebounds and 3 blocks.
Jazz veteran center Jusuf Nurkic will miss the game against the Lakers.
