After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz rolled past the Spurs 120-99. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. The Spurs looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles. It broke open after the break.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Spurs · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Spurs · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
