After Action Report

The Jazz knocked off the Celtics 117-113. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; second-chance points piled up for the Celtics. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
