After Action Report

In Boston, the Jazz pulled away from the Celtics 118-107. The Celtics had no answer for the variance gods tonight. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz ride keeps rolling — they're catching fire. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
