After Action Report

In San Antonio, the Jazz buried the Spurs 124-103. The tempo dragged the Spurs into a rhythm they couldn't survive. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Jazz. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • 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 · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
