After Action Report
The Jazz outlasted the Spurs 129-123. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Spurs' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
What tipped it
- Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Spurs · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
