After Action Report
The Jazz held off the Celtics 99-93. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
