The Los Angeles Lakers edged the Utah Jazz 108–106 on November 23 at Delta Center in a defensive grind that saw both teams struggle offensively. Luka Dončić led the Lakers with 33 points, while Austin Reaves added 22 in a balanced effort; Kawhi George paced Utah with 27 points and Lauri Markkanen contributed 20. The Lakers shot 44.2 percent from the field compared to the Jazz's 42.6 percent, and Los Angeles made 10 three-pointers to Utah's 13, though the home team's extra perimeter shot couldn't overcome a sluggish fourth quarter that yielded just 25 points. Both squads finished with identical 45 rebounds and committed 14 turnovers apiece, but the Lakers' superior defensive rating of 100.1 versus Utah's 101.0 proved decisive in the one-possession outcome. Utah's offensive efficiency of 100.1 points per 100 possessions highlighted their shooting woes, particularly after a strong first half that saw them score 55 points through two quarters before managing just 51 in the final half. The victory keeps the Lakers competitive in the Western Conference standings.
