After Action Report
The Jazz fended off the Celtics 115-107. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
