Aaron Donald was one of the biggest influences in the Rams win over the Bengals. He had himself a monster defensive night, which included 2 crucial sacks on Bengals QB Joe Burrow. Donald even made the game-winning defensive play that won the Rams the Super Bowl.

It seems even championship luck isn’t enough for the Lakers. At halftime, the Jazz had a significant lead over the purple and gold. However, LeBron James and co. have shown flashes of their true power through the game.

Anthony Davis opened up hot with a 15 point opening quarter to his name. Russell Westbrook has been great for the past couple of games, and he is going strong tonight. He has put up 7 points, 2 rebounds, and 4 assists so far. The King has contributed with 14 points and 4 assists as the Lakers trail 53-65.

However, the Lakers Big 3 have been outclassed by just one man on the Jazz. Donovan Mitchell went on a scoring tear in the first half with 26 points to his name. He is shooting at an impressive 61% so far. Jazz big man Rudy Gobert hasn’t had much action of offense tonight with the Lake show doing a good job of covering him. Jordan Clarkson and Bogdanovic have combined for 18 points, giving an advantage to the Jazz.
