After Action Report
The Jazz pulled away from the Celtics 118-103. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Jazz's Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Celtics locker-room rift aren't helping.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
