After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Knicks 112-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; the Knicks played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
