Randy Foye came off the bench and scored 17 points to lead the Utah Jazz to a 95-86 NBA victory over the struggling Los Angeles Lakers on Nov. 7.Foye made four three-pointers in the fourth quarter, while Al Jefferson completed a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds for Utah, who ended a three-game losing streak.
Lakers superstar Kobe Bryant scored a game-high 29 points and Dwight Howard added 19 points and nine rebounds, but the star-studded Lakers were unable to build on their first win of the fledgling season, a 108-79 victory over Detroit on Nov. 4.
Bryant scored the Lakers’ final 14 points, but it wasn’t enough for a Lakers team that have lost four of their first five games.
“We have to do a better job keeping our frustrations on the inside and play through it,” center Dwight Howard said.
While the revamped Lakers continued their quest for chemistry, their cross-town rivals the Los Angeles Clippers handed the San Antonio Spurs their first defeat of the season, 106-84.
Blake Griffin scored 22 points with 10 rebounds and teammates DeAndre Jordan and Chris Paul had double-doubles, too. Jordan scored 20 points with 11 rebounds and Paul poured in 10 points with 12 assists against a Spurs team that swept the Clippers in the second round of last season’s playoffs.
