Russell Westbrook scored 24 points and Dwight Howard had 21 points and 14 rebounds for the Lakers, but it wasn't enough to outlast a 25-point, 17-rebound double-double from Rudy Gobert and 29 points from Donovan Mitchell.
Donovan Mitchell scored 29 points and Rudy Gobert had 25 points and 17 rebounds as the Utah Jazz snapped a five-game losing streak with a 122-109 win over the Los Angeles Lakers on Thursday night.
Utah led wire-to-wire, the fourth game of the season in which it never trailed. But, the Lakers stayed within striking distance until Gobert slammed down Mitchell's miss to make it 120-104 with 2:54 to play. When the Lakers closed to 113-103 on Talen Horton-Tucker's 3-pointer, a audible nervous buzz grew among the Jazz faithful as they anticipated another collapse. But, Lakers couldn't consistently get enough stops to make it interesting.
Utah's losing ways have corresponded with Bogdanovic's nine-game absence with a calf strain and House's knee bruise. Hassan Whiteside has also been out with a foot sprain during three games of the skid and missed the Lakers game.
