After Action Report
The Jazz downed the Trail Blazers 119-105. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's stars took over and bent the game to their will; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
