After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Knicks 116-86. Jazz torched the Knicks on the offensive end. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Knicks locker-room rift aren't helping. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Knicks · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Knicks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
