After Action Report
The Jazz squeaked past the Trail Blazers 105-101. The better team simply showed up tonight. Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks; Trail Blazers' Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.
