After Action Report

In a track meet, the Jazz blew the doors off the 76ers 115-95. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; the 76ers are in a full-on tailspin. Whispers of a 76ers locker-room rift aren't helping. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight. It broke open after the break.

What tipped it

  • 76ers · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • 76ers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
