After Action Report
In Utah, the Jazz ran roughshod over the Kings 117-87. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; Jazz's Run-and-Gun identity dictated the tempo. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. It was over by halftime.
What tipped it
- Jazz · Statement Win Last time out, a 20+ point beating sent a message.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
- Kings · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
