After Action Report
In Utah, the Celtics survived the Jazz 134-132 in overtime. The tempo dragged the Jazz into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Celtics pushed the pace until the other side broke; Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Celtics rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
