After Action Report

The Jazz ran roughshod over the Celtics 125-88. The Jazz got every break — every loose ball, every bounce. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's old heads steadied the ship in the swings. The Celtics looked disjointed — chemistry issues linger. It was over by halftime.

What tipped it

  • Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
  • Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
