After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Kings 131-99. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
