After Action Report

In Portland, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Trail Blazers 156-122. The breakneck pace played right into Jazz's hands. The Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. Never a doubt in this one.

What tipped it

  • Trail Blazers · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
  • Trail Blazers · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
  • Jazz · Heartbreak A gutting last-second loss — revenge is on the menu.
  • Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
