After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz snuck past the Celtics 102-100. The tempo dragged the Celtics into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo.

- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
