After Action Report
In Utah, the Trail Blazers snuck past the Jazz 116-111. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
