After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Raptors 102-97. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Survive-and-advance type win.

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.
