After Action Report
In Utah, the Trail Blazers survived the Jazz 97-92. The Trail Blazers won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Fresh off a statement win, the Trail Blazers stayed locked in; the Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Trail Blazers bench chemistry carried them. Tonight's Jazz utilization choices clashed with the team identity. Style points be damned.
