After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Celtics 126-100. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Celtics' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Celtics played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
