After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz handled the Suns 107-95. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Suns' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

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 · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
