After Action Report
The Jazz fended off the Suns 104-96. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Suns' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Suns played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Suns · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Suns · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
