Los Angeles Lakers vs Utah Jazz Full Game Highlights 1st Qtr | Dec 18 | 2025 NBA Highlights

that would get them into the playing, but who knows if they want to do that. If they’re angling for a draft pick, if their draft pick falls outside of the top eight, it goes to OKC. There’s so many ramifications going on, but they’ve been playing pretty good basketball. So, we’ll see how they do down their superstar in Lowry Marketing. There’s Nerkach. He rested there last game. Keonte, what a roll he’s been on. Comes up just short, but Nerkach is there. There’s that offensive rebound you talked about, but it’s uh dribbled out of bounds by LeBron. It’ll be Utah ball with 14 on the shot clock. >> That shot was short and that’s one of the reasons why Nerkish was able to get it. >> Believe it or not, he had 30. The Lakers fell asleep on defense and Ruie Hatamura was the one following the trailer. >> That’s only because they weren’t on the same page not talking and they give up the dunk. >> Here’s Luca. had that 30point streak stop the other night in Phoenix. Going to get it right back for Marcus Smart. We are high at top the sideline here at the Delta Center. Fall away jump shot. Donic has his first bucket. He did not shoot it well the other night and that’s an understatement. >> Even the great ones having >> where they can’t put it in the ocean. >> He was seven for 25 and two for 14 from three. And when he finally made one in the second half, he looked to the heavens and said, “Thank you.” Ace Bailey, one of the two top five picks from Ruters. The other one, of course, Dylan Harper, who is starring for San Antonio underneath. That would have counted had it gone. And we’re going to get two free throws to go against the Grizzlies. Very good rebounder. They have won back-to-back games against the Mavs and the Grizzlies. That Mav game went overtime. And that’s the one where Cooper Flag had 42 points. Marcus goes all the way in, reverses. Good reverse scoop. >> Yeah. And I mean, he showed that one from the left side all the way to the right. >> That’s good pass. Nerkens will score. Dribble drives on penetration from Keonte George. Well, he makes stuff happen, doesn’t he? >> The quickest way to break down a half court defense is to get dribble penetration. LeBron, of course, his dust ups with Dylan Brooks really had the headlines buzzing the other night in Phoenix. Brooks finally got kicked out of the game late and LeBron made the key free throws to seal the win. >> George, >> boy, what been on fire the last couple of games. Here he is firing it up again. Great offensive rebound and score by Philippowski. Well, the Lakers have not started the game off very well on the defensive rebounding category. They’ve given up multiple attempts each time down. >> Coming off with his best scoring effort. LeBron, he scoops and scores as he gets to the rim. >> This is the end now where the Lakers have to start getting on the same page. Find your man, put a body on him, then go get the rebound. >> LeBron has been more LeBron like, if you will, over the last three games when you look at his numbers. But Utah comes down and knocks it down again. And there’s Ace Bailey. >> Mention the rookie number five pick. Highest draft pick for them since Dante Exom. LeBron drive kick. Ruy not there. Long shot long rebound. And the former Laker Ski Mail has the rebound. The majority of his shots will come from three. And here he is going down the lane trying to get to the rim and he’s going to go to the line. >> If you don’t close out on shooter in his career. How about this right now from Carl’s Jr. >> The Kelly XL Burger, a beefed up Charm World double burger for only $5.99. >> There’s a look at Austin. Calf injury is keeping him out, but he has made the road. Uh they’ll be at the Inuit Dome on Saturday. Here is Smart. Got it. String music. >> I watched Marcus before the game early before it started and he was really shooting it well from three-point land. He was getting after it defensively the other night. >> Mkyu, that’s what he does. That’s why they pay him. >> Mail got a Kansas Jay-Hawk. >> He got a real good screen though from Nerkage at the top. >> Luka gets fouled on the outside. That’ll be ballside out now. >> And which they said, right, it’s going to be a week until they look at him again. Only two games in this week, so that’s been the good thing. Uh so we’ll take a look at him tomorrow and and we’ll see if there’s good news ahead of the next game, but tomorrow is that re-evaluation day. >> Yeah, good stuff, Mike. And the next game is Saturday. We’ll have that for you on Spectrum Sports Net. Then Phoenix uh the following week. Remember we were just there. So 9 days after we played in the Valley of the Sun, we’ll get them again two days before Christmas. George knocks yet another one down. Again, too much air space between the defenders and the shooters last couple of trips down. >> At least 28 points in four of his last six. Luca the leading scorer in the NBA and of course he won the title a couple of years ago. >> Seven and a half to play. Lakers >> up 17 points. >> Boy, it was a turnover fest the other night. Now it’s LeBron running the break. Right wing bounce from Luca. Timeout Utah. Listen, they can score. They’re top 10 in points, top seven in free throw percentage, improved offense here in December, but they can’t defend. Next to last in points allowed, and next to last in defensive rating. Nerk, boy, he let Jackson Hayes just slide by and he laid it up and in. >> Well, he knows he’s got to use that body of his, especially against Jackson Hayes, cuz he’s not going to out jump Jackson, but he can use that body to keep him off of it. LeBron still in. That was such a quick timeout underneath. Boy, they read that pretty well. Although >> coming for marketing here tonight. All right. The energy of the purple and gold in person is like no other. Catch the lake show live and soak up. It’s the official resale marketplace of year. Lakers lock in your seats right now at lakers.com/tick exchange. got a fivegame home stand coming up starting with Houston on Christmas Day. So come on out and see everybody at Crypto.com Arena and enjoy Laker basketball. Underneath Sensab kicks it outside and they’re going to hit a three. The former Trojan of USC, Isaiah Collier. >> Good ball movement that time. Good body movement. Ends up with a wideopen look. >> Luca holding on to it. He’s led the team in scoring 17 times. He’s led this team in assists 14 times >> and rebounds 10 times. That’s a talent across the board. Again, some key players on both sides missing. If you’re just joining us, no DeAndre Aton, no Austin Reeves, no Gabe Vincent for the purple and gold. Nobody stopping the ball. So Luca takes it all the way to the rim AND FINALLY CLEAN it up with the dunk is Jackson Hayes >> and Nerkage had inside position but he just can’t elevate as high as Jackson Hayes. >> Jackson Hayes is one for one so he still hasn’t missed a shot against the Utah Jazz as a Laker Mail the rainbow in the corner. >> Well, he saved that ball from going out of bounds and then ended up open so he knocks down yet another triple. He’s playing 26 minutes a game by far the most he plays per game this season than he has in any other. George gets a little run. Also Jake Larabia who’s trying to find his shot. And the guy you gave the game ball to the other day against Phoenix, Jared Vanderbil. >> I mean he turned it around. He really did. His energy in in that game really helped the Lakers forge ahead by 20. He wasn’t on the floor when they almost gave it up. >> He only played 15 minutes. Seemed like he was out there for about a half an hour. He was so effective. Luca the scoop. Oh, and it rolls around and falls in. >> Bad bad defense that time by the Jay. >> All right, here’s where you got to tighten up at this end if you’re the Lakers. >> Collier just bullying his way doing a good >> games. All right, basketball brings people together everywhere. On December the 21st, join the NBA family in celebrating World Basketball Day, a global recog
