After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz survived the Kings 112-111. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Kings rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
