After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz snuck past the Spurs 100-96. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. Style points be damned.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Jazz · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Spurs · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
  • Spurs · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
  • Spurs · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Spurs · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
