After Action Report
In Boston, the Jazz squeaked past the Celtics 99-96. Ugly basketball, but the Jazz did just enough. Jazz's high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim; Celtics' Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz rotation plan paid off — leaning into the right spots created real lift. Style points be damned.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
