After Action Report

The Jazz upended the Kings 119-109. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz are in a full-on tailspin; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Add it to the list of nights the favorite forgot to show up.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Kings · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Kings · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Kings · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
