LA Lakers vs Utah Jazz player stats and box score (Dec. 1) | 2024-25 NBA season

The LA Lakers won on Sunday with a little help from poor clock management from the Utah Jazz. LA's hosts trailed 105-104 following Walker Kessler's shot with 31.1 seconds to go in the fourth quarter. LeBron James missed a 3-pointer before Kessler secured the ball. The Jazz had a chance to win the game with eight seconds remaining.

Collin Sexton raced to the other end of the court before making a layup. The referee nullified the basket as the Jazz had called a timeout with 2.0 seconds left in the game. Sexton bobbled the ball following an after-timeout play and was blocked by three Lakers as time expired.

Anthony Davis led the Lakers with 33 points, 15 rebounds, two steals and one block. King James added 27 points, 14 assists, five rebounds and two blocks. Without Austin Reaves and D'Angelo Russell, the superstars dragged their team to victory.

Every Jazz starter reached double-digit scoring, led by Lauri Markkanen's 22 points. Collin Sexton, who could have made the winning basket, finished with 14 points, four assists and three rebounds.
