After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Kings 110-92. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Survive-and-advance type win.
