Through their first seven games of the season, the Los Angeles Lakers have been amazingly solid defensively, ranking third in defensive rating.
But on Friday evening, the Utah Jazz were able to put a huge dent in that statistic.
They blazed away in the first half with 75 points, and although L.A. made things interesting afterward, Utah flexed and came away with a 130-116 win.
Dribble penetration was a big reason the Lakers lost, and it led to the Jazz outscoring them in the paint 64-56.
On the bright side, L.A. was able to shoot well from 3-point land, making 42.3 percent of their attempts from downtown, but its defense seemed almost non-existent.
