After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz outlasted the Trail Blazers 89-80. The Jazz won despite a cold shooting night — grit beat polish. Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo; Trail Blazers' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Trail Blazers · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Trail Blazers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
