After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz fended off the Kings 103-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Kings looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Tonight's Kings utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
