After Action Report

The Jazz outlasted the Clippers 99-81. Jazz's offense had its way with the Clippers. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Clippers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. The Clippers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Clippers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Clippers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
