After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Spurs 102-97. The Spurs couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Spurs' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. Whispers of a Spurs locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
