After Action Report

The Jazz handled the Cavaliers 153-143 in double overtime. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Cavaliers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Cavaliers · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
