After Action Report

In Utah, the Jazz survived the Wizards 114-112. Jazz controlled the tempo from tip to buzzer. Second-chance points piled up for the Jazz; second-chance points piled up for the Wizards. The Jazz locker room is humming, and it showed. Wizards' per-player workload didn't match the gameplan. Ugly, but it counts the same in the standings.
