After Action Report
The Trail Blazers handled the Jazz 116-105. Trail Blazers' scorers couldn't be contained. The Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions; fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in. The Trail Blazers locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Survive-and-advance type win.
