After Action Report
The Warriors squeaked past the Jazz 82-81. The Warriors won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Warriors' veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes; the Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it

- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
