After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Nets 130-110. The tempo dragged the Nets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

  • Nets · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
