After Action Report
The Jazz rolled past the Trail Blazers 124-100. Jazz's offense had its way with the Trail Blazers. The Jazz carried the swagger of a recent blowout into this one; the Trail Blazers owned the glass, generating extra possessions. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. The Trail Blazers rotation plan worked against them — wrong guys, wrong night. Never a doubt in this one.
