After Action Report
The Jazz buried the Kings 120-96. Jazz's offense had its way with the Kings. Jazz's stars took over and bent the game to their will; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Garbage time started early.
