After Action Report
The Jazz rolled past the Celtics 131-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
