After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Celtics 125-92. The Jazz's lockdown unit choked off Celtics' offense. 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. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.

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 · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
