After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz held off the Magic 111-103. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Magic's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
