After Action Report
The Jazz survived the Cavaliers 116-111. The tempo dragged the Cavaliers into a rhythm they couldn't survive. The Jazz owned the glass, generating extra possessions; the Jazz played with the chip of a recent gutting loss. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Cavaliers' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Style points be damned.
