After Action Report
The Jazz snuck past the Celtics 105-103. Every possession went the Jazz way. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Celtics' outside barrage was a constant threat. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
