After Action Report
In Toronto, the Jazz outlasted the Raptors 104-97. The Raptors couldn't capitalize even when shots wouldn't fall for the Jazz. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; the Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss. Whispers of a Raptors locker-room rift aren't helping. Survive-and-advance type win.
What tipped it
- Raptors · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Raptors · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Raptors · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
