After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz survived the Cavaliers 91-86. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. 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. Style points be damned.

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 · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Cavaliers · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
