After Action Report

In a track meet, the Jazz outlasted the Kings 117-100. The tempo dragged the Kings into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz 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.
