After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz blew the doors off the Trail Blazers 116-92. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings; Trail Blazers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
