After Action Report

The Jazz snuck past the Pistons 113-111. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; 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.

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.
