After Action Report
The Jazz upended the Celtics 119-97. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz came in with something to prove after a loss; the Celtics owned the glass, generating extra possessions. On paper this one shouldn't have been close — basketball had other ideas.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Celtics · Ice Cold On a 4+ game losing streak — shots aren't falling.
- Jazz · Bouncing Back A winning team just got tripped up — expect a response.
