After Action Report

The Jazz squeaked past the Trail Blazers 125-120. Shots fell that probably shouldn't have, and the Jazz cashed in. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; Trail Blazers' Rim Wreckers got loose for easy buckets in transition. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them.
