After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz squeaked past the Celtics 100-99. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Shots just aren't falling for the Jazz lately; the Jazz bent the defense out of shape from deep. 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 · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
