After Action Report
In Chicago, the Jazz survived the Bulls 121-117. The tempo dragged the Bulls into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz steamroller is in full effect right now; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them.
What tipped it

- Jazz · Buzzsaw An 8+ game winning streak — they cannot be stopped (until the league catches up).
