After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the SuperSonics 113-96. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the SuperSonics answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. 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. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • SuperSonics · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
