After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Pistons 121-116. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Pistons' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
What tipped it
- Pistons · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
