After Action Report

In Washington, the Jazz held off the Wizards 120-113. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
