After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Hawks 119-87. Jazz torched the Hawks on the offensive end. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Hawks rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. It was over by halftime.
