After Action Report
The Jazz blew the doors off the Pacers 133-86. Jazz's offense had its way with the Pacers. 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. Never a doubt in this one.
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 · 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.
- Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
