After Action Report

The Jazz held off the Kings 95-88. The Kings couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz; the Kings owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
