After Action Report
The Jazz outlasted the Celtics 96-82. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
