After Action Report
In Denver, the Jazz survived the Nuggets 125-120 in overtime. Jazz's scorers couldn't be contained. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz looked unstoppable — pure Buzzsaw mode. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.

- Jazz · Glass Eaters Crashing the boards generates extra possessions and second-chance buckets.
- Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
