After Action Report
In Indiana, the Jazz squeaked past the Pacers 123-118. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Pacers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; Pacers' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Pacers · 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.
