After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Wizards 121-97. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Wizards' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. 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. Never a doubt in this one.

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.
