Lakers 131, Jazz 99: Inside the numbers

LOS ANGELES — The Utah Jazz seemingly didn’t stand a chance in a 131-99 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers on Tuesday night.

Here’s a look inside the numbers from the Jazz’s loss:

Best performance: Anthony Davis had absolutely no problems and seemingly played against zero resistance en route to a game-high 26 points.

Worst performance: There’s quite a few players to choose from here so it’s worth going through the list. John Collins’ stat-line might not look bad, but his defense left so much to be desired that he ended the night a minus-29 in the plus-minus column. Kelly Olynyk went 1-of-6 and had just four points, Talen Horton-Tucker was 1-of-10 and had six points in 23 minutes and Ochai Agbaji was the only starter to go scoreless.

The Jazz had a pretty dismal shooting night, hitting just 25% of their 3-point attempts compared to the Lakers 37.9% outing from deep.

For the second time this season, Lauri Markkanen did not take a single free throw.

LeBron James played just 24 minutes and was able to get a cool and easy 17 points, nine assists and seven rebounds.

The Jazz actually committed fewer turnovers than the Lakers (14 for the Jazz, 15 for the Lakers), but the Lakers scored more points off turnovers than the Jazz did, turning 14 miscues into 21 points.

Best of the best: Davis led the way in scoring, but had his way all over the court. He also grabbed 16 rebounds, dished out four assists and stole the ball twice.

Worst of the worst: The Jazz went into the night with a real chance at remaining in the in-season tournament beyond group play, but on national TV they played their worst game of the season, handed the Lakers the Group A win and were blown out without putting up much of a fight.
