After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Pacers 97-95. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pacers' old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Tonight's Pacers utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Pacers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
