After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz took care of the SuperSonics 143-131. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. 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.
