After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Hawks 112-109. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Hawks locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Hawks · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Hawks · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
