After Action Report

The Jazz survived the Magic 100-98. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Magic · Block Party Multiple shot-blockers turn the paint into a no-fly zone.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
