After Action Report

The Trail Blazers handled the Jazz 106-89. The Jazz couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Trail Blazers. Second-chance points piled up for the Trail Blazers; the Trail Blazers played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. Whispers of a Jazz locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Trail Blazers · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Trail Blazers · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
