After Action Report

The Jazz snuck past the Bulls 99-96. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. You could feel the revenge motivation from the Jazz; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Bulls looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Bulls · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Bulls · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
