After Action Report
In a track meet, the Jazz snuck past the Celtics 124-120. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; the Jazz couldn't shake the cold spell.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- 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.
- Celtics · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
