After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the SuperSonics 105-102. Jazz torched the SuperSonics on the offensive end. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the SuperSonics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
