After Action Report
In Boston, the Jazz held off the Celtics 122-114. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
