After Action Report
The Jazz ran roughshod over the Celtics 112-92. Jazz's offense had its way with the Celtics. The Jazz carried the confidence of a hot streak right into this one; Celtics' high-flyers tilted the pace and the rim. The Jazz bench chemistry carried them. The Celtics rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
What tipped it
- Celtics · Rim Wreckers A trio of high-flyers run, dunk, and tilt the pace.
- Celtics · Crashing An 8+ game losing skid — heads are down, both ends suffer.
- Celtics · Locker-Room Rift Tension in the locker room — poor ball movement and streaky play.
- Jazz · Catching Fire Riding a 4+ game winning streak — confidence is high.
- Jazz · Tight-Knit Locker-room chemistry is humming — extra trust on every possession.
