After Action Report

In Utah, the Magic ran roughshod over the Jazz 147-123. Magic's scorers couldn't be contained. The Magic answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Magic's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Magic · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
