After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz snuck past the Mavericks 106-103. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
