After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the 76ers 100-97. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz; the 76ers came in with something to prove after a loss. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • 76ers · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
