After Action Report
The Jazz fended off the Knicks 104-97. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. 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. Survive-and-advance type win.
