Los Angeles Lakers vs. Utah Jazz

You found this. Be the first one here.

Back-to-back home games are a quiet gift to anybody who works downtown. Two nights, the same walk, the same parking structure you already know the quirks of, and no need to make a plan the second time because you made it the night before. Most people only ever do one of the pair, which is why the Wednesday is consistently the better value of the two. Utah are a familiar visitor with a long shared history in this conference and a travelling support that makes the trip regularly enough to be recognisable. November is still the part of a season where teams are working out what they are, which is more interesting to watch than people give it credit for. Go to the second night. The crowd is smaller, the seats are better and the basketball is identical. Check the start time before you set off either night, too: back-to-backs are frequently scheduled at different hours, and more people get caught by that than by anything else on the calendar.
