The Utah Jazz and the L.A. Lakers were the winners Thursday as the National Basketball Association restarted its season with two games in its Walt Disney World “bubble."

The Jazz beat the New Orleans Pelicans 106-104 in the first game and the Lakers beat the L.A. Clippers 103-101 in the second.

In both games, the players, coaches and referees kneeled together during the National Anthem in support of racial justice and equality. Although the NBA has a rule that players must stand during the anthem, Commissioner Adam Silver announced he wouldn’t enforce it, saying, “I respect our teams’ unified act of peaceful protest for social justice.”
