After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Pistons 112-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
