The Los Angeles Lakers State undefeated in Cup play.

A slow start for the Jazz dooms them, but a rally late shows lots of hope.

We're talking about it next on Postcast.

David Logg, along with Ron Boone, with you here on Postcast after the Utah Jazz fall by just six tonight by the final score of 124 to 118. Lakers jumped to a 15 point lead in the first half took control

of the game. I'm not sure the Jazz may have had a 2-0 lead early, but that was about it.

So it was another night where the Jazz got hit early, fell behind, trailed by as many as 25,

so never really a threat to win this game at all.

But they do close the game with the effort staying in it, which I think is a step.

They've obviously got to find a way to do it in a manner that's not always the last thing they do.

But maybe the most important thing tonight, Ron, to me, is Keonté George.

A first half that was less than desirable.

He goes 04 in the first half tonight. And you're coming off being benched. In the second half of

the night before, you really wondered where he's going to be. At times, his body length in his career

has not been super. And he came out and probably played the best five-minute stretch of basketball I've ever seen to play.

I had about five straight, fabulous plays and really did a nice job.

I'm pleased to see that Keonté was able to bounce back on.

I'm so pleased for him.

He definitely needed a game like this, and David, he shot the basketball very, very well.

Now, if that's what he needs in order to make himself play well,

then I'm happy for it.
