After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the Kings 115-113. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. Jazz's outside barrage was a constant threat; the Kings carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.

What tipped it

  • Kings · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
