After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Pacers 105-101 in overtime. The better team simply showed up tonight. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; Jazz's Lockdown identity stifled the opposing offense. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Early returns: the Jazz per-player utilization choices fit the identity tonight.

What tipped it

  • Pacers · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
  • Pacers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
