Jazz vs. Lakers: Play-by-play, highlights and reactions
Game Time: 10:00 PM EST on Wednesday February 16, 2022
Utah Jazz 79, Los Angeles Lakers 71 (End Q3)
What’s the buzz on Twitter?
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaEnd of three. The Jazz lead the lakers 79-71…..LeBron took over the final 30 seconds of the quarter. Crypto is in the game. On that last finish, LeBron got dapped up by Aaron Donald, who is wearing an insane amount of ice tonight – 12:00 AM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenJazz up 79-71 after 3Q. Jazz getting a little lucky with the Lakers’ 3-pt shooting tonight, including that last one. Also feels like a game LeBron is at risk of taking over to prove a point, but it’ll be really difficult. – 12:00 AM
Bill Oram @billoramLakers trail 79-71 at the end of the third quarter. Donovan Mitchell already has 33 points for Utah. But the story remains Anthony Davis and his sprained ankle. – 11:59 PM
Brad Turner @BA_TurnerLeBron James just scored on a reverse layup and ran down court and slapped hands with Aaron Donald. – 11:59 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzThat was a Ja Morant-level almost-finish by Trent Forrest – 11:53 PM

Jason Jones @mr_jasonjonesI’m gonna start watching my shows on the DVR … someone page me if this Lakers-Jazz game is close anytime in the fourth quarter. – 11:49 PM
Tony Jones @Tjonesonthenba3:14 remaining in the third quarter. The Jazz lead the Lakers 75-63…..Donovan Mitchell has been in complete control of this one. He has 32….now hurting the lakers with his playmaking. His game dipped before his concussion. He’s been on top of it since coming back – 11:48 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazzabsolutely N🚫T

Mark Medina @MarkG_MedinaLakers say that Anthony Davis sprained his right ankle, and that x-rays turned out negative. Lakers add that Davis will receive treatment over the All-Star break and then will be reevaluated when the team returns after All-Star weekend – 11:45 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazzsheesh @Donovan Mitchell – 11:45 PM
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynesLos Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis will receive an MRI on his right ankle tomorrow, league sources tells @YahooSports. But X-rays were negative. – 11:43 PM
Matthew Tynan @Matthew_TynanOh good we definitely needed to see the AD injury again. At least the one more time. – 11:42 PM

Kyle Goon @kylegoonThe Lakers say Anthony Davis has a right ankle sprain. No sign of fracture on the X-rays. He’s going to receive treatment on the ankle over the break and be reevaluated next week. – 11:37 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggsThis game was gettable for Denver, but only one player showed up. That’s okay – but please sit Jokic down so he can get out of the Chase Center in one piece. After seeing that AD clip on my timeline a hundred times I do not need that to be Nikola. We already got the warning shot. – 11:37 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazzrattle the rim 🥶

Arash Markazi @ArashMarkaziAnthony Davis could not put any weight on his right ankle and had to be carried back to the locker room. pic.twitter.com/KFVvJr9qZC – 11:34 PM
Bill Oram @billoramLakers say Anthony Davis will not return to tonight’s game with what they are calling, simply, a “right ankle injury” – 11:33 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzMike Conley is just having such a tough time finishing in this game. 0-6 shooting now. – 11:32 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryanAnd Donovan Mitchell scores on the first possession of the second half. – 11:31 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzNo surprise: AD ruled out for the rest of this game. – 11:31 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporterLakers will stay small here, starting Trevor Ariza for Anthony Davis, essentially moving LeBron to center. – 11:30 PM
Adrian Wojnarowski @wojespnLakers star Anthony Davis is getting x-rays on his right ankle now, source tells ESPN. – 11:28 PM
Arash Markazi @ArashMarkaziAnthony Davis rolled his right ankle so badly that it touched the court before he went down. pic.twitter.com/FRC1eEJ74a – 11:25 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaJust saw the replay. Gruesome. Prayers up to AD 🙏🙏🙏🙏 – 11:21 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenMy hope, watching that AD replay, is that it’s just a severe ankle sprain that costs him a few weeks. I didn’t see his foot out of place or the really gruesome stuff that you see in broken ankle situations, but who knows. – 11:18 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazzMake it 26 points for @Donovan Mitchell in the first half 😳
He’s 5/7 from deep.

Mike Trudell @LakersReporterUtah gets the last hoop of the half to go up 53-46.
Third time this game that a loose ball fell into the hands of an open Jazz player, as Bogdanovic collected a deflection for a layup. (The killer deflection in the 4th at GSW fell right to Klay Thompson for a 3) – 11:16 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaHalftime: Jazz 53, Lakers 46
The most pressing matter for the Lakers currently is Anthony Davis’ ankle — a potentially season-altering dynamic. AD has 17 points and 2 blocks. LeBron James has 13 points, 4 rebounds and 4 assists. LA is just 3 of 17 (17.6%) on 3s. – 11:16 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzHALFTIME: Jazz 53, Lakers 46. Don with 26p on 5-7 from deep. Bogey 10p, JC 8p. Davis had 17p on 7-9 shooting for LA before the injury. LeBron 13/4/4.Jazz 7-18 from 3, Lakers 3-17. – 11:16 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░ 50%
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/VKIPSNSoLr – 11:16 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaLeBron James was completely disengaged in the first half. Just floated. Still has 13/4/4….wonder what it’s like to be good enough to sleepwalk your way into triple double watch – 11:15 PM
Gordon Gross @GMoneyNuggsMan, Anthony Davis is gonna be out a while with that ankle roll. His foot went perpendicular to his leg. – 11:15 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryanJazz up 53-46 at the halftime. Donovan Mitchell has been superb with 26 points on 5 of 7 3-point shooting. – 11:15 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenJazz up 53-46 at the half.
Interesting to see how demonstratively O’Neale and Gobert were talking to each other after that second-to-last defensive possession… Royce wanted to switch and Rudy wanted to stay in the paint. Leading, but stuff to sort out for the Jazz in 2H. – 11:15 PM
Los Angeles Lakers @LakersHalftime pic.twitter.com/kg4rfuBaNr – 11:15 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoonHALFTIME: Jazz 53, Lakers 46.
Just a lot riding on Anthony Davis’ ankle. – 11:14 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaHalftime in Los Angeles. The Jazz lead the Lakers 53-46….Mitchell has 26 to lead everyone – 11:14 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzNice line from @MarkJonesESPN: “Donovan Mitchell … has been hotter than fish grease!”
I have no idea how hot that is, but it sounded great. – 11:13 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarahHonestly really tough moment for the Lakers because they’ve lost like 7 of 9 but the talk pre game was about how the team was finding a renewed sense of energy and some positive stuff happening. The AD injury sucks the air out of that if it’s serious. – 11:13 PM
The Ringer @ringernbaPrayers up for Anthony Davis 🙏 – 11:12 PM
Malika Andrews @malika_andrewsAnthony Davis didn’t put any weight on his right ankle as he was helped off the court. – 11:12 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzUpon replay: AD jumped up for the pass, and as he was coming down, he caught Gobert’s heel and completely turned his foot over. Brutal. – 11:11 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz😯😮😲 pic.twitter.com/KlkxmX2Yrk – 11:11 PM
Eric Pincus @EricPincusAir sucked out of the building with that injury. AD’s ankle. Bummer to see. I root for health leaguewide above all – this year hasn’t been kind – 11:10 PM
Bill Oram @billoramAnthony Davis is finally up after spending several minutes on the court after badly rolling his right ankle. Went up to catch a lob and came down on Rudy Gobert’s heel. A potentially season-altering moment for a team that has been trying to get on the right side of things. – 11:10 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_MedinaAnthony Davis not putting any weight on his right foot. AD being helped to the locker room – 11:10 PM
Vincent Goodwill @VinceGoodwillOh boy. That didn’t look good for Anthony Davis – 11:10 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzWow, stretcher coming onto the court for Anthony Davis – 11:10 PM
Ky Carlin @Ky_CarlinDude, this sucks for Anthony Davis. Come on man. He can’t catch a break. – 11:10 PM
Brad Turner @BA_TurnerAD is up but helped to locker room by DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard. – 11:10 PM
Janis Carr @janiscarrAD down, grabbing his ankle. Can’t put pressure on it – 11:10 PM
Dave McMenamin @mctenAnthony Davis is down on the court after a bad right ankle turn. He came down on Rudy Gobert’s heel and is in a lot of pain. DeAndre Jordan and Dwight Howard helped him off the court. – 11:10 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarahAD being helped off the court by teammates, not able to put any weight on his ankle…it does not look good. – 11:10 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoopsStar players haven’t had a great run playing against the Jazz at Staples center in the last 8 months. – 11:09 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporterAnthony Davis rolled his right ankle pretty badly, landing on Rudy Gobert’s foot after jumping high in the air.
He’s been terrific tonight, moving with bounce on both ends of the floor, with 17 points on 7 of 9 FG’s.
He needed help to get off the court. – 11:09 PM
Will Guillory @WillGuilloryMan that AD injury looked bad – 11:09 PM
Chris Haynes @ChrisBHaynesLos Angeles Lakers star Anthony Davis in agony on the floor holding his right ankle – 11:09 PM
Ryan Ward @RyanWardLAFeel for AD. Just no luck when it comes to avoiding injuries and staying healthy. That didn’t look good. – 11:09 PM
Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwaAD looks like he just rolled his ankle really bad…Not good man, whole team out there with him… – 11:09 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoonDavis’ right foot nicked Gobert on the way down while catching a pass from Malik Monk. He turned it hard. That looks like it could keep him out a while. – 11:09 PM
Brad Turner @BA_TurnerAnthony Davis goes down rolled his right ankle on heel of Utah Center Rudy Gobert. – 11:09 PM
Bob Garcia @bgarciaivsportsThat’s clearly an ankle sprain. AD is going to be out awhile. – 11:08 PM
Mark Medina @MarkG_MedinaMan, Anthony Davis looks in pain…. – 11:08 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenAnthony Davis is down holding his ankle. Lakers fans in our section yell “Come on, bro! Get up!” – 11:08 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaAnthony Davis just turned his ankle and it doesn’t look good at all – 11:08 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoonAnthony Davis is down, grabbing his right lower leg and rolling. – 11:07 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz21 points 🕷
#TakeNote pic.twitter.com/vPvTN3EU4d – 11:04 PM
Kamenetzky Brothers @KamBrothersBefore AD got hurt, he and Westbrook had developed a nice two-man chemistry. It had been kinda sluggish since his return, but tonight feels the most like that period. AK – 11:04 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz21p forDon on 6-10 FGs, 4-5 from 3, 5-5 FTs. Yeah, he’s feeling it. 44-39 Jazz. – 11:03 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaMitchell is giving out work. Has 21 and just hit the lakers with a transition 3…Jazz up 44-39…Vogel calls time so he can put LeBron James back onto the floor – 11:03 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenDonovan Mitchell has 21 points already; 19 of them have come from outside the paint. – 11:03 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoopsThis feels a little bit like a playoff game in that everyone is waiting for Donovan Mitchell to do superstar things and he is.
For the most part everyone else is just kind of out there. – 11:02 PM
Sarah Todd @NBASarahSome of the Donovan Mitchell off-ball defense stuff has been so good on multiple games and counting – 11:02 PM
Duane Rankin @DuaneRankinI get this is premature.
Paul could very well be fine, but say he doesn’t play in #NBAAllStar game?
Does Adam Silver call Mikal Bridges?
Based on #Cavs center Jarrett Allen replacing #Nets guard James Harden on Team LeBron, position doesn’t matter for injury replacement. #Suns – 11:01 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporterLakers are just 2 for 11 from 3, despite getting mostly wide open looks all half.
Utah is 5 for 14, and leads 39-33 after the 3rd triple from Mitchell. – 11:00 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaThat’s twice that Mitchell has stood Westbrook up physically when he’s tried to throw his shoulder into him – 11:00 PM
Kerith Burke @KerithBurkeI know we’ve talked about Kuminga guarding LeBron and Jokic….but GP2 has done the same

Eric Walden @tribjazzTrent Forrest with a short-range floater, then a bucket at the rim, helping salvage what’s otherwise been a pretty meh offensive stretch for the Jazz. They’re back in front, 35-33; 7:38 left til halftime. – 10:55 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoonThe Jazz are getting a loooooot of paint penetration, finishing with floaters and short jumpers. Lead 35-33 with 7:38 left in the first half. – 10:54 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaTrent Forrest is playing really well. REALLY well….he’s changed the game twice so far – 10:53 PM
Sam Quinn @SamQuinnCBSIt’s been 15 minutes and only three Jazz players have scored. – 10:52 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaJordan Clarkson has three fouls – 10:51 PM

Allen Sliwa @AllenSliwaTHT 3 blocks, AD 2 blocks… – 10:50 PM
Ben Anderson @BensHoopsMike Conley was asked to do a ton in January to keep the Jazz afloat, it seems like the All-Star break is coming at a good time for him.
He said he’s taking a true vacation with his wife away from the kids. – 10:49 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazzEnd 1Q: Jazz 27, Lakers 27. Nice recovery from Utah, which initially trailed 11-0. Lakers got some 3s from Westbrook (30.1% this season) and Anthony Davis (16.9%). Davis is cooking all-around — 15p on 6-7 FGs. Don with 15p. – 10:47 PM
Brad Turner @BA_TurnerAD is 6-for-7 from the field and also has two blocks in the first quarter. – 10:46 PM
Jovan Buha @jovanbuhaFirst quarter: Lakers 27, Jazz 27
Anthony Davis and Donovan Mitchell each have 15 points. Russell Westbrook has 7 points and 3 assists. The Lakers cooled off after a hot start, but are playing with a similar spirit to the Golden State game. They have 14 points in the paint. – 10:46 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazz45 is too smooth 🕸
#TakeNote | @Donovan Mitchell pic.twitter.com/OzuoPZm8Bz – 10:45 PM
Ryan Miller @millerjryanDonovan Mitchell has 15. Anthony Davis has 15. The Jazz and Lakers all tied at 27. – 10:45 PM
Bill Oram @billoramThat was just Anthony Davis’ 12th 3 of the season. Lakers and Jazz tied at 27 after a first quarter in which the Lakers led by as many as 11. – 10:45 PM

Brad Turner @BA_TurnerAnthony Davis had 15 points to help Lakers to a 27-27 tie with Jazz end of first quarter. – 10:45 PM
Adam Wexler @AdamJWexlerSuns Chris Paul picked up technical fouls 10 & 11 this season & was ejected. Only Luka Doncic & Carmelo Anthony have more technicals this season (12 each). #Rockets lead 79-73, 6:37 left in 3rdQ – 10:45 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaEnd of one out in Los Angeles: the Jazz and the Lakers are tied at 27-27….Anthony Davis has 15….Mitchell has 15…. – 10:44 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporterAll tied at 27 after 1, thanks to a last-second corner 3 from Anthony Davis. He had 15 points on 6 of 7 FG’s in the period.
LAL opened on an 11-0 run before Utah counter punched. – 10:44 PM
Jason Quick @jwquickFour wins in a row for Portland after 123-119 thriller in Memphis. Wins over Lakers, Knicks, at Bucks, at Grizz. “We have something going on,” Jusuf Nurkić says after recording 32 points, 8 rebounds and 5 assists. – 10:44 PM

Ryan Miller @millerjryanMitchell is up to 15 points as the Jazz take their first lead of the game at 23-21. – 10:39 PM
Jay Allen @PDXjayJa Morant is 21-25 at the FT line tonight. The last #NBA player to attempt 25+ FTs in a game was Anthony Davis (27, 10/29/19). – 10:39 PM
Kyle Goon @kylegoonpersonally i don’t think the Lakers should be looking to trade Anthony Davis but that’s just my opinion I guess – 10:35 PM
Mike Trudell @LakersReporterThe 3-pointer has Utah right back into this one, as both Mitchell and Bogdanovic have 2 makes from distance. Utah’s made 4 of 5 overall after starting 1 for 6, with LAL’s 11-point lead down to 1 at 19-18. – 10:33 PM
Ira Winderman @IraHeatBeatHow much longer can this constant Knicks/Lakers on ESPN continue? – 10:33 PM
Utah Jazz @utahjazzBig Babo. send tweet. – 10:32 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz10p from Don, 8p from Bogey … and that’s it for the Jazz, who are now within 19-18 with 4:46 left 1Q. – 10:32 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaMeanwhile the Jazz have found their footing, mainly because Donovan Mitchell forced himself on the game. They trail 19-18…bogdanovic has eight early. He and Mitchell are the only ones to score so far for Utah – 10:32 PM
Andy Larsen @andyblarsenJazz all the way back, now down just 19-18. Bogdanovic and Mitchell 4-5 from 3.
Little bit surprised O’Neale hasn’t been able to stay in front of Westbrook more. – 10:32 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporterAn 8-0 Lakers run to start the game forces an early Jazz time out at the 9:45 mark.
This has been LAL’s best start, on both ends, in a while. An aggressive @Anthony Davis is leading the way with 6 points on 3 of 3 FG’s, with a pair of J’s, and a dunk off LeBron’s dish. – 10:20 PM
Eric Walden @tribjazz8-0 Lakers lead, including 6p by AD. Not great defense from the Jazz so far. Timeout, Quin. – 10:20 PM
Tony Jones @TjonesonthenbaJazz down 8-0 early…..Quin Snyder calls timeout. The Jazz basically haven’t had one good possession thus far on either end of the floor….. – 10:19 PM

Mike Trudell @LakersReporterStrong start for LAL, with a Westbrook layup, AD steal as Utah tried to free Gobert, and AD step-back J over Gobert to make it 4-0. – 10:17 PM

Micah Adams @MicahAdams13DeMar DeRozan’s streak of 7 straight games with 35 points and 50% shooting will be the longest in NBA history, breaking a tie with Wilt.
Longest streaks by notable perimeter players:
LeBron – 5
Dame – 5
Jordan – 4
Kobe – 4
Wade – 4
West – 4
Curry – 3
Harden – 3 – 10:11 PM
Cayleigh Griffin @cayleighgriffinCalvin and I talked in the postgame on Monday how the #Rockets must dictate the pace of this game. They didn’t in Utah, but man, they’re doing it tonight. Energy, ball movement, defense – this is some fun basketball. – 10:03 PM
Micah Adams @MicahAdams13The path to DeMar DeRozan actually winning the MVP is not that outrageous.
– Bulls can get the 1 seed
– CP and Book will split votes
– Durant is hurt
– LeBron’s team stinks
– Jokic’s team is middling
– Giannis’s team is coasting
– Embiid’s 76ers could finish 5th
– Curry’s slump – 9:59 PM
