After Action Report
In Indiana, the Jazz snuck past the Pacers 99-98. The Pacers couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the Pacers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Pacers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
