After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Nuggets 122-97. The tempo dragged the Nuggets into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.

- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
