After Action Report

The Cavaliers outlasted the Jazz 103-90. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Cavaliers. Second-chance points piled up for the Cavaliers; Jazz's skid keeps deepening — heads down on both ends. The Jazz looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Cavaliers' rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Cavaliers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • 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.
