After Action Report
The Jazz handled the Celtics 116-98. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
