After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 128-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Trail Blazers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
