After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz handled the Rockets 131-119. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
