After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Kings 114-113. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
