After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Trail Blazers 118-116 in overtime. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Fresh off a statement win, the Jazz stayed locked in; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
