After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 123-86. Jazz's offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort. The Trail Blazers looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Garbage time started early.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
