After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 118-91. Jazz torched the Trail Blazers on the offensive end. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Trail Blazers are in a full-on tailspin. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- 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.
