After Action Report

The Jazz snuck past the Kings 98-97. Jazz's offense had its way with the Kings. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
