Lakers 113, Jazz 100

The Jazz refused to go quietly, cutting the Lakers lead to 107-98 with 1:46 to go, but there was no way the Lakers were losing this one. Kobe Bryant punctuated the Game 1 win with an emphatic dunk over Paul Millsap, Ariza hit another 3-pointer and the Lakers ran off the court to a cascade of confetti with a series-opening win.
