After Action Report
The Trail Blazers survived the Jazz 124-122. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Trail Blazers cashed in. The Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
