After Action Report

The Jazz rolled past the Mavericks 133-112. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Mavericks came in with something to prove after a 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. The second half turned a coin-flip into a runaway.
