After Action Report

The Jazz snuck past the Kings 119-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; the Kings answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
