This may very well be the lowest point for the Jazz this season. In a 120-91 decisive victory, the Lakers embarrassed the Jazz as they led by as many as 38 points Tuesday at Staples Center.
The Jazz, whose 29-point loss tied the largest margin of defeat this season, now heads back home having gone 0-for-5 on their road trip and losing by an average of 15.8 points. The last time the Jazz have lost five straight was from Dec 4-14, 2007 when they had a six-game losing streak. Big picture, this sizeable defeat continues to show the Lakers (33-13) dominance over the Jazz (27-18), who have now lost 17 straight (including postseason) at Staples Center.
The Lakers, who tied the season series 1-1, were led by Kobe Bryant's game-high 21 points. Pau Gasol chipped in with 20 points, seven rebounds and five assists. Lamar Odom added 17 points on 7-for-8 shooting.
