After Action Report

The Jazz edged the Bulls 105-97. The Bulls couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Bulls' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
  • Bulls · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Bulls · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
