After Action Report
The Trail Blazers outlasted the Jazz 89-83. Ugly basketball, but the Trail Blazers did just enough. Trail Blazers' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; the Jazz are in a full-on tailspin. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
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.
