After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 124-104. 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 bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. One bad quarter was all it took to crack this one open.
