After Action Report
The Jazz upended the Celtics 98-96. Every possession went the Jazz way. Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends; Celtics' stars took over and bent the game to their will. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Superstar Stack Two or more 90-overall stars bend games to their will on both ends.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- 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.
