After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Raptors 98-96. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat; Raptors' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
