After Action Report

The Jazz fended off the Bulls 117-111. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
