After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz took care of the Celtics 117-107. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. Celtics' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
