After Action Report

The Jazz held off the Clippers 105-99. Execution down the stretch made the difference. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Clippers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift.
