After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Trail Blazers 116-109. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
