After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz edged the Trail Blazers 107-100. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense; second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
