After Action Report
The Celtics pulled away from the Jazz 87-77. Ugly basketball, but the Celtics did just enough. Celtics' 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.
