After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Celtics 120-114. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night.
