After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Kings 90-87. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. The Jazz answered the bell with a bounce-back effort; Jazz's veteran poise eliminated the costly mistakes. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
