After Action Report
In Portland, the Trail Blazers demolished the Jazz 106-83. Trail Blazers torched the Jazz on the offensive end. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
