The Jazz squeaked past the Trail Blazers 111-109. The Trail Blazers had no answer for the variance gods tonight. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's defenders refused to give up clean looks. Jazz's rotation plan looked deliberate, and the right guys made the most of their roles.
